7. Now when the people departed away at noon, Susanna went into her husband’s garden to walk.
8. And the two elders saw her going in every day, and walking; and they were inflamed with love for her.
9. And they perverted their own mind, and turned away their eyes, that they might not look to heaven, nor remember just judgements.
10. And albeit they both were wounded with her love, yet dared not one show another his grief.
11. For they were ashamed to declare their lust, that they desired to have to do with her.
12. Yet they watched jealously from day to day to see her.
13. And the one said to the other, Let us now go home: for it is dinner time.
14. So when they were gone out, they parted the one from the other, and turning back again they came to the same place; and after that they had asked one another the cause, they acknowledged their lust: and then appointed they a time both together, when they might find her alone.
15. And it fell out, as they watched a fit day, she went in as aforetime with two maids only, and she was desirous to wash herself in the garden: for it was hot.
16. And there was nobody there save the two elders, that had hid themselves, and watched her.
17. Then she said to her maids, Bring me oil and washing balls, and shut the garden doors, that I may wash me.
