And it came to pass the next day, when the people were assembled to her husband Joacim, the two elders came also full of mischievous imagination against Susanna to put her to death;

And said before the people, Send for Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, Joacim’s wife. And so they sent.

Then the two elders stood up in the midst of the people, and laid their hands upon her head.

Then we that stood in a corner of the garden, seeing this wickedness, ran unto them.

Then the assembly believed them as those that were the elders and judges of the people: so they condemned her to death.

Therefore when she was led to be put to death, the Lord raised up the holy spirit of a young youth whose name was Daniel:

Who cried with a loud voice, I am clear from the blood of this woman.

So he standing in the midst of them said, Are ye such fools, ye sons of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth ye have condemned a daughter of Israel?

Then said Daniel unto him, Well; thou hast also lied against thine own head: for the angel of God waiteth with the sword to cut thee in two, that he may destroy you.

And the king said, I see the footsteps of men, women, and children. And then the king was angry,

And in that same place there was a great dragon, which they of Babylon worshipped.

And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou also say that this is of brass? lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinketh; thou canst not say that he is no living god: therefore worship him.

When they of Babylon heard that, they took great indignation, and conspired against the king, saying, The king is become a Jew, and he hath destroyed Bel, he hath slain the dragon, and put the priests to death.
