Judges 16:9-11

21st Century King James Version

⁹ Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, “The Philistines be upon thee, Samson.” And he broke the withes as a thread 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 bind me fast with new ropes wherewith work hath not been done, then shall I be weak and be as another man.”
