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.

42. Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and said, O everlasting God, that know the secrets, that know all things before they be:

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