7. And Samson said to her, If they bind me with seven green withs, that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
8. Then the lords of the Philistines brought to her seven green withs, which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
9. (Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber.) And she said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he broke the withs as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.
10. And Delilah said to Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, with what thou mayest be bound.
11. And he said to her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were used, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
12. Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him with them, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. (And there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber.) And he broke them from off his arms like a thread.
