Then ran the one, and opened the garden door.
So when the servants of the house heard the cry in the garden, they rushed in at the privy door, to see what was done unto her.
And it came to pass the next day, when the people were assembled to her husband Joacim, the two elders came also full of mischievous imagination against Susanna to put her to death;
And said before the people, Send for Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, Joacim’s wife. And so they sent.

Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and said, O everlasting God, that knowest the secrets, and knowest all things before they be:
Thou knowest that they have borne false witness against me, and, behold, I must die; whereas I never did such things as these men have maliciously invented against me.
And the Lord heard her voice.
Therefore when she was led to be put to death, the Lord raised up the holy spirit of a young youth whose name was Daniel:

And Daniel said, Very well; thou hast lied against thine own head; for even now the angel of God hath received the sentence of God to cut thee in two.
Then said Daniel unto him, Well; thou hast also lied against thine own head: for the angel of God waiteth with the sword to cut thee in two, that he may destroy you.
With that all the assembly cried out with a loud voice, and praised God, who saveth them that trust in him.
And they arose against the two elders, for Daniel had convicted them of false witness by their own mouth:

Now the priests of Bel were threescore and ten, beside their wives and children. And the king went with Daniel into the temple of Bel.
And they little regarded it: for under the table they had made a privy entrance, whereby they entered in continually, and consumed those things.
Now in the night came the priests with their wives and children, as they were wont to do, and did eat and drink up all.
In the morning betime the king arose, and Daniel with him.
And the king said, Daniel, are the seals whole? And he said, Yea, O king, they be whole.

And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou also say that this is of brass? lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinketh; thou canst not say that he is no living god: therefore worship him.
Then said Daniel unto the king, I will worship the Lord my God: for he is the living God.

So they came to the king, and said, Deliver us Daniel, or else we will destroy thee and thine house.
Now when the king saw that they pressed him sore, being constrained, he delivered Daniel unto them:
Who cast him into the lions’ den: where he was six days.
And in the den there were seven lions, and they had given them every day two carcases, and two sheep: which then were not given to them, to the intent they might devour Daniel.
But the angel of the Lord said unto Habbacuc, Go, carry the dinner that thou hast into Babylon unto Daniel, who is in the lions’ den.
And Habbacuc said, Lord, I never saw Babylon; neither do I know where the den is.
Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown, and bare him by the hair of his head, and through the vehemency of his spirit set him in Babylon over the den.
And Daniel said, Thou hast remembered me, O God: neither hast thou forsaken them that seek thee and love thee.
So Daniel arose, and did eat: and the angel of the Lord set Habbacuc in his own place again immediately.
Upon the seventh day the king went to bewail Daniel: and when he came to the den, he looked in, and behold, Daniel was sitting.
Then cried the king with a loud voice, saying, Great art Lord God of Daniel, and there is none other beside thee.
And he drew him out, and cast those that were the cause of his destruction into the den: and they were devoured in a moment before his face.
O Lord, Almighty God of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and of their righteous seed;
who hast made heaven and earth, with all the ornament thereof;
who hast bound the sea by the word of thy commandment; who hast shut up the deep, and sealed it by thy terrible and glorious name;
whom all men fear, and tremble before thy power; for the majesty of thy glory cannot be borne, and thine angry threatening toward sinners is importable:
for thou art the most high Lord, of great compassion, longsuffering, very merciful, and repentest of the evils of men. Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness hast promised repentance and forgiveness to them that have sinned against thee: and of thine infinite mercies hast appointed repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved.
Thou therefore, O Lord, that art the God of the just, hast not appointed repentance to the just, as to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, which have not sinned against thee; but thou hast appointed repentance unto me that am a sinner:
for I have sinned above the number of the sands of the sea. My transgressions, O Lord, are multiplied: my transgressions are multiplied, and I am not worthy to behold and see the height of heaven for the multitude of mine iniquities.
I am bowed down with many iron bands, that I cannot lift up mine head, neither have any release: for I have provoked thy wrath, and done evil before thee: I did not thy will, neither kept I thy commandments: I have set up abominations, and have multiplied offences.
Now therefore I bow the knee of mine heart, beseeching thee of grace.
Therefore I will praise thee for ever all the days of my life: for all the powers of the heavens do praise thee, and thine is the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
And it happened, after that Alexander son of Philip, the Macedonian, who came out of the land of Chettiim, had smitten Darius king of the Persians and Medes, that he reigned in his stead, the first over Greece,
And made many wars, and won many strong holds, and slew the kings of the earth,
And after these things he fell sick, and perceived that he should die.
Wherefore he called his servants, such as were honourable, and had been brought up with him from his youth, and parted his kingdom among them, while he was yet alive.
So Alexander reigned twelves years, and then died.
And after his death they all put crowns upon themselves; so did their sons after them many years: and evils were multiplied in the earth.
