Daniel 13:59-65

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵⁹ And Daniel said to him: Well hast thou also lied against thy own head: for the angel of the Lord waiteth with a sword to cut thee in two, and to destroy you.

⁶⁰ With that all the assembly cried out with a loud voice, and they blessed God, who saveth them that trust in him.

⁶¹ And they rose up against the two elders, (for Daniel had convicted them of false witness by their own mouth,) and they did to them as they had maliciously dealt against their neighbour,

⁶² To fulfill the law of Moses: and they put them to death, and innocent blood was saved in that day.

⁶³ But Helcias and his wife praised God, for their daughter Susanna, with Joakim her husband, and all her kindred, because there was no dishonesty found in her.

⁶⁴ And Daniel became great in the sight of the people from that day, and thenceforward.

⁶⁵ And king Astyages was gathered to his fathers, and Cyrus the Persian received his kingdom.
