Judges 14:13-15
International Children’s Bible
13 But if you can’t tell me the answer, you must pay me. You must give me 30 linen shirts and 30 changes of clothes.”
So they said, “Tell us your riddle. We want to hear it.”
14 Samson said,
“Out of the eater comes something to eat.
Out of the strong comes something sweet.”
The 30 men tried for three days to figure it out. But they could not find the answer.
15 On the fourth[a] day, they came to Samson’s wife. They said, “Did you invite us here to make us poor? Trick your husband into telling us the answer to the riddle. If you don’t, we will burn you and everyone in your father’s house!”
