Susanna 53-55

Common English Bible

⁵³ You judged unfairly, sentencing the innocent to death, and letting the guilty go, even though the Lord says, ‘You will not sentence innocent and good people to death.’ ⁵⁴ Now then, if you really saw this woman, tell me this. Under what tree did you see them having sex?” He said, “Under a clove tree.”

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