Susanna 1:52-57 World English Bible (WEB)

52. So when they were put asunder one from another, he called one of them, and said to him, O you that have become old in wickedness, now are your sins come home to you which you have committed aforetime,

53. in pronouncing unjust judgement, and condemning the innocent, and letting the guilty go free; albeit the Lord says, The innocent and righteous shall you not kill.

54. Now then, if you saw her, tell me, Under what tree saw you them companying together? Who answered, Under a mastick tree.

55. And Daniel said, Right well have you lied against your own head; for even now the angel of God has received the sentence of God and shall cut you in two.

56. So he put him aside, and commanded to bring the other, and said to him, O you seed of Canaan, and not of Judah, beauty has deceived you, and lust has perverted your heart.

57. Thus have you⌃ dealt with the daughters of Israel, and they for fear companied with you: but the daughter of Judah would not abide your wickedness.
