Susanna 1:7

Listen to Susanna 1:7
7 Every day at noon, when all the people left for lunch, Susanna used to take a walk in the gardens.

Susanna 1:7 In-Context

5 Everyone who had a legal case to present would also go to Joakim's house, where two judges held court. These two leaders of the Jewish community had recently been appointed to office. They were the ones about whom the Lord said, "There is wickedness in Babylon; judges are failing to give guidance to the people."
7 Every day at noon, when all the people left for lunch, Susanna used to take a walk in the gardens.
8 The two judges were so attracted to her that they would wait around and watch for her.
9 They became so obsessed with their desire for her that they lost interest both in prayer and in their responsibility as judges.
