Judges 14:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ This was his riddle: “Food came out of the eater, and sweetness from the strong!” Three days later they were still trying to figure it out.

¹⁵ On the fourth day they said to his new wife, “Get the answer from your husband, or we’ll burn down your father’s house with you in it. Were we invited to this party just to make us poor?”

¹⁶ So Samson’s wife broke down in tears before him and said, “You don’t love me at all; you hate me, for you have told a riddle to my people and haven’t told me the answer!”

“I haven’t even told it to my father or mother; why should I tell you?” he replied.
