Sus 1:1
There dwelt a man in Babylon, called Joacim:

Sus 1:2
And he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the daughter of
Chelcias, a very fair woman, and one that feared the Lord.

Sus 1:3
Her parents also were righteous, and taught their daughter
according to the law of Moses.

Sus 1:4
Now Joacim was a great rich man, and had a fair garden
joining unto his house: and to him resorted the Jews; because he
was more honourable than all others.

Sus 1:5
The same year were appointed two of the ancients of the
people to be judges, such as the Lord spake of, that wickedness
came from Babylon from ancient judges, who seemed to govern the
people.

Sus 1:6
These kept much at Joacim's house: and all that had any suits
in law came unto them.

Sus 1:7
Now when the people departed away at noon, Susanna went into
her husband's garden to walk.

And the two elders saw her going in every day, and walking;
so that their lust was inflamed toward her.

Sus 1:9

Sus 1:13
And the one said to the other, Let us now go home: for it is
dinner time.

Sus 1:14
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: then appointed they a time both
together, when they might find her alone.

Sus 1:15
And it fell out, as they watched a fit time, she went in as
before with two maids only, and she was desirous to wash herself
in the garden: for it was hot.

Sus 1:16
And there was no body there save the two elders, that had hid
themselves, and watched her.

Sus 1:17
Then she said to her maids, Bring me oil and washing balls,
and shut the garden doors, that I may wash me.

Sus 1:18
And they did as she bade them, and shut the garden doors, and
went out themselves at privy doors to fetch the things that she
had commanded them: but they saw not the elders, because they
were hid.

Sus 1:19
Now when the maids were gone fo
