Susanna 1:23

23 But I'd rather not do this and fall into your hands, than sin in the Lord's sight."

Susanna 1:23 In-Context

21 If you don't, we'll swear that you were meeting with a young man, and that's why you sent your female servants away."

22 Susanna groaned. "I'm trapped! If I do this, it's death; but if I don't, I still won't escape your plotting.

23 But I'd rather not do this and fall into your hands, than sin in the Lord's sight."

24 So Susanna screamed, and at the same time the two elders called out.

25 One of them ran and opened the gates to the garden.
