Susanna 1:8-14 World English Bible (WEB)

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.
