Verse in Context
Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:
22 Then Susanna sighed, and said, “I am trapped; for if I do this thing, it is death to me. If I don’t do it, I can’t escape your hands.
23 It is better for me to fall into your hands, and not do it, than to sin in the sight of the Lord.”
24 With that Susanna cried with a loud voice; and the two elders cried out against her.
25 Then one of them ran and opened the garden doors.
26 So when the servants of the house heard the cry in the garden, they rushed in at the side door to see what had happened to her.
