Daniel 13:55–64

⁵⁵And Daniel said, “You have certainly lied against your own head; for even now the angel of God has received the sentence of God and will cut you in two.”↗

⁵⁶So 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.↗

⁵⁷Thus you have dealt with the daughters of Israel, and they for fear were intimate with you; but the daughter of Judah would not tolerate your wickedness.↗

⁵⁸Now therefore tell me, under which tree did you take them being intimate together?” He answered, “Under an evergreen oak tree.”↗

⁵⁹Then Daniel said to him, “You have also certainly lied against your own head; for the angel of God waits with the sword to cut you in two, that he may destroy you.”↗

⁶⁰With that, all the assembly cried out with a loud voice, and blessed God, who saves those who hope in him.↗

⁶¹Then they arose against the two elders, for Daniel had convicted them of false testimony out of their own mouth.↗

⁶²According to the law of Moses they did to them what they maliciously intended to do to their neighbor. They put them to death, and the innocent blood was saved the same day.↗

⁶³Therefore Helkias and his wife praised God for their daughter Susanna, with Joakim her husband, and all the kindred, because there was no dishonesty found in her.↗

⁶⁴And from that day forth, Daniel had a great reputation in the sight of the people.↗
