Susanna 48-50

Revised Standard Version

⁴⁸ Taking his stand in the midst of them, he said, “Are you such fools, you sons of Israel? Have you condemned a daughter of Israel without examination and without learning the facts? ⁴⁹ Return to the place of judgment. For these men have borne false witness against her.”

⁵⁰ Then all the people returned in haste. And the elders said to him, “Come, sit among us and inform us, for God has given you that right.”
