New King James Version
4 And Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near to me.” So they came near. Then he said: “I am Joseph your brother, (A)whom you sold into Egypt. 5 But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; (B)for God sent me before you to preserve life. 6 For these two years the (C)famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. 7 And God (D)sent me before you to preserve a [a]posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8 So now it was not you who sent me here, but (E)God; and He has made me (F)a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a (G)ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

15 But it came to pass on the [a]seventh day that they said to Samson’s wife, (A)“Entice your husband, that he may explain the riddle to us, (B)or else we will burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you invited us in order to take what is ours? Is that not so?”
16 Then Samson’s wife wept on him, and said, (C)“You only hate me! You do not love me! You have posed a riddle to the sons of my people, but you have not explained it to me.”
And he said to her, “Look, I have not explained it to my father or my mother; so should I explain it to you?” 17 Now she had wept on him the seven days while their feast lasted. And it happened on the seventh day that he told her, because she pressed him so much. Then she explained the riddle to the sons of her people. 18 So the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down:
“What is sweeter than honey?
And what is stronger than a lion?”
And he said to them:
“If you had not plowed with my heifer,
You would not have solved my riddle!”
