Susanna 1:23

23 I choose not to do it; I will fall into your hands, rather than sin in the sight of the Lord."

Susanna 1:23 In-Context

21 If you refuse, we will testify against you that a young man was with you, and this was why you sent your maids away."
22 Susanna groaned and said, "I am completely trapped. For if I do this, it will mean death for me; if I do not, I cannot escape your hands.
23 I choose not to do it; I will fall into your hands, rather than sin in the sight of the Lord."
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.
