Judges 16:16-21
New King James Version
16 And it came to pass, when she pestered him daily with her words and pressed him, so that his soul was [a]vexed to death, 17 that he (A)told her all his heart, and said to her, (B)“No razor has ever come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.”
18 When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, “Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart.” So the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand. 19 (C)Then she lulled him to sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then [b]she began to torment him, and his strength left him. 20 And she said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” So he awoke from his sleep, and said, “I will go out as before, at other times, and shake myself free!” But he did not know that the Lord (D)had departed from him.
21 Then the Philistines took him and [c]put out his (E)eyes, and brought him down to Gaza. They bound him with bronze fetters, and he became a grinder in the prison.

Genesis 39:7-13
New King James Version
7 And it came to pass after these things that his master’s wife [a]cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said, (A)“Lie with me.”
8 But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand. 9 There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. (B)How then can I do this great wickedness, and (C)sin against God?”
10 So it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he (D)did not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her.
11 But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside, 12 that she (E)caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside. 13 And so it was, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside,
