Susanna 1:30-40 World English Bible (WEB)

30. and she came with her father and mother, her children, and all her kindred.

31. Now Susanna was a very delicate woman, and beauteous to behold.

32. And these wicked men commanded her to be unveiled, (for she was veiled) that they might be filled with her beauty.

33. Therefore her friends and all that saw her wept.

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

35. And she weeping looked up toward heaven: for her heart trusted in the Lord.

36. And the elders said, As we walked in the garden alone, this woman came in with two maids, and shut the garden doors, and sent the maids away.

37. Then a young man, who there was hid, came to her, and lay with her.

38. And we, being in a corner of the garden, saw this wickedness, and ran to them.

39. And when we saw them together, the man we could not hold: for he was stronger than we, and opened the doors, and leaped out.

40. But having taken this woman, we asked who the young man was, but she would not tell us: these things do we testify.
