Judges 14:14-16

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ So he said to them:

After three days, they were unable to explain the riddle. ¹⁵ On the fourth^[a] day they said to Samson’s wife, “Persuade your husband to explain the riddle to us, or we will burn you and your father’s household to death. Did you invite us here to rob us?”

¹⁶ So Samson’s wife came to him, weeping, and said, “You hate me and don’t love me!^(A) You told my people the riddle, but haven’t explained it to me.”

“Look,” he said,^[b] “I haven’t even explained it to my father or mother, so why should I explain it to you?”
