Susanna 55-57

Common English Bible

⁵⁵ Daniel said, “Right! You lied! It’s on your own head! Already God’s angel has orders to cleave you down the middle!”

⁵⁶ Then setting that one aside, he ordered them to bring in the other judge. He said to him, “You’re a Canaanite and not from Judah. Beauty seduced you, and sexual desire twisted your mind. ⁵⁷ You treated women from Israel this way, and they had sex with you because they were afraid of you. But this woman from Judah wouldn’t tolerate your lawless immorality.
