53 You judged unfairly, sentencing the innocent to death, and letting the guilty go, even though the Lord says, ‘You will not sentence innocent and good people to death.’
54 Now then, if you really saw this woman, tell me this. Under what tree did you see them having sex?" He said, "Under a clove tree."
55 Daniel said, "Right! You lied! It’s on your own head! Already God’s angel has orders to cleave you down the middle!"
56 Then setting that one aside, he ordered them to bring in the other judge. He said to him, "You’re a Canaanite and not from Judah. Beauty seduced you, and sexual desire twisted your mind.
57 You treated women from Israel this way, and they had sex with you because they were afraid of you. But this woman from Judah wouldn’t tolerate your lawless immorality.
58 So tell me now: Under what tree did you catch them having sex with each other?" He said, "Under a yew."
59 Daniel said to him, "Right! You lied too! It’s on your own head. God’s angel waits with his sword to hew you down the middle, to destroy both of you."
