English Standard Version

“Out of the eater came something to eat.

And in three days they could not solve the riddle.
15 On the fourth[a] day they said to Samson's wife, (A)“Entice your husband to tell us what the riddle is, (B)lest we burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you invited us here to impoverish us?” 16 And Samson's wife wept over him and said, (C)“You only hate me; you do not love me.
