29and said before the people, “Send for Susanna, the daughter of Helkias, Joakim’s wife.” So they sent;↗
30and she came with her father and mother, her children, and all her kindred.↗

33Therefore her friends and all who saw her wept.↗
34Then the two elders stood up in the midst of the people and laid their hands upon her head.↗
35She, weeping, looked up toward heaven; for her heart trusted in the Lord.↗
36The elders said, “As we walked in the garden alone, this woman came in with two maids, shut the garden doors, and sent the maids away.↗
