12:7. And I heard the man that was clothed in linen, that stood upon the waters of the river, when he had lifted up his right hand, and his left hand to heaven, and had sworn by him that liveth for ever, that it should be unto a time, and times, and half a time. And when the scattering of the band of the holy people shall be accomplished, all these things shall be finished. 12:8. And I heard, and understood not. And I said: O my lord, what shall be after these things? 12:9. And he said: Go, Daniel, because the words are shut up, and sealed until the appointed time. 12:10. Many shall be chosen, and made white, and shall be tried as fire: and the wicked shall deal wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand, but the learned shall understand. 12:11. And from the time when the continual sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination unto desolation shall be set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred ninety days. 12:12. Blessed is he that waitesth, and cometh unto a thousand three hundred thirty-five days. 12:13. But go thou thy ways until the time appointed: and thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot unto the end of the days. Daniel Chapter 13 The history of Susanna and the two elders.

For her parents being just, had instructed their daughter according to the law of Moses. 13:4.
