24
Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and the two elders shouted against her.
25
And one of them ran and opened the garden doors.
26
When the household servants heard the shouting in the garden, they rushed in at the side door to see what had happened to her.
27
And when the elders told their tale, the servants were greatly ashamed, for nothing like this had ever been said about Susanna.
28
The next day, when the people gathered at the house of her husband Joakim, the two elders came, full of their wicked plot to have Susanna put to death.
