Susanna 1:23

23 It is better for me to fall into your hands and not do it, than to sin in the sight of the Lord."

Susanna 1:23 In-Context

21 If thou wilt not, we will bear witness against thee that a young man was with thee, and therefore thou didst send away thy maids from thee."
22 Then Susanna sighed and said, "I am straitened on every side. For if I do this thing, it is death unto me; and if I do it not, I cannot escape your hands.
23 It is better for me to fall into your hands and not do it, than to sin in the sight of the Lord."
24 With that Susanna cried with a loud voice, and the two elders cried out against her.
25 Then ran the one and opened the garden door.
