Judges 16:9-11

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁹ Now there were men lying in wait in a chamber of her house. And she said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he broke the wicker strands as a thread of tow is broken when it touches the fire. So the secret of his strength was not known.

¹⁰ Then Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me and told me lies; now tell me, I pray thee, how thou might be bound.

¹¹ And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then I shall become weak and be as any other man.
