7. And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.
8. Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withes which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
9. Now she had liers in wait abiding in the inner chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withes, as a string of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.
10. And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.
11. And he said unto her, If they only bind me with new ropes wherewith no work hath been done, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.
