Text and translations

Latin text Ingemuit Susanna, et ait: Angustiæ sunt mihi undique: si enim hoc egero, mors mihi est: si autem non egero, non effugiam manus vestras. Sed melius est mihi absque opere incidere in manus hominum, quam peccare in conspectu Dei mei.

English translation Then Susanna sighed, and said, l am in trouble on every side: for if I do this thing, it is death unto me: and if I do it not, I can not escape your hands. It is better for me to fall into your hands, and not do it, than to sin in the sight of the Lord. (Geneva Bible)
