Judges 16:7-9

Tree of Life Version

⁷ Samson said to her, “If they bind me with seven fresh cords that have never been dried, then I would be weak and be like any other man.” ⁸ So the Philistine lords brought up to her seven fresh cords that had never been dried, and she bound him with them, ⁹ while an ambush was waiting in an inner room.

“The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” she said to him. But he broke the cords just as a strand of straw snaps when it touches fire. So his strength remained unknown.
