44 The Lord heard her prayer
45 and led a young man named Daniel to speak out, just as Susanna was being taken away to her death.
46 He shouted, “I refuse to be a party to her death!”
47 Everyone turned round to look at him and asked, “What are you talking about?”
48 Daniel stood up before them and said, “People of Israel, how foolish can you be? Are you going to condemn an Israelite woman to death on this kind of evidence? You haven't even tried to find out the truth.
49 Reopen the case. The testimony these men gave was a lie.”
50 So all the people hurried back to where the trial had taken place, and the officials said to Daniel, “God has given you wisdom beyond your years, so come and join us and explain to us what you mean.”
