Susanna 58-60
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
58 Now then, tell me: Under what tree did you catch them being intimate with each other?’ He answered, ‘Under an evergreen oak.’[a] 59 Daniel said to him, ‘Very well! This lie has cost you also your head, for the angel of God is waiting with his sword to split[b] you in two, so as to destroy you both.’
60 Then the whole assembly raised a great shout and blessed God, who saves those who hope in him.
