New Testament

Judges 16:11-16 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

11. He said to her, “If they only bind me with new ropes with which no work has been done, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.”

12. So Delilah took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” The ambush was waiting in the inner room. He broke them off his arms like a thread.

13. Delilah said to Samson, “Until now, you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me with what you might be bound.”He said to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with the web.”

14. She fastened it with the pin, and said to him, “The Philistines are on you, Samson!” He awakened out of his sleep, and plucked away the pin of the beam, and the web.

15. She said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies.”

16. When she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, his soul was troubled to death.
