22 Susanna sighed and said, 'I am closed in on every side. For if I do this thing, it is death to me; yet if I do not do it, I will not escape your hands.
23 But it is better for me to fall unavoidably into your hands, than to sin in the sight of the Lord.'
24 And Susanna cried out with a loud voice, but the elders also cried out against her.
25 And one of them hurried to the door of the orchard and opened it.
26 And so, when the servants of the house heard the outcry in the orchard, they rushed in by the back door to see what was happening.
