59 Daniel said, “Right! That lie will cost you your life; God's angel is waiting with his sword in his hand, ready to cut you in two. Then we shall be rid of you both.”

63 Susanna's parents, her husband, and all her relatives praised God because she had been proved innocent of the charges.
64 From that day on, Daniel was held in high regard.
