Judges 16:11-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹¹ He said to her, “If they bind me tightly with new ropes ^[a]which have not been used, then I will become weak and be like any other man.” ¹² So Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them and said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” For the men were lying in wait in the inner room. But he snapped ^[b]the ropes from his arms like a thread.

¹³ Then Delilah said to Samson, “Up to now you have deceived me and told me lies; tell me ^[c]how you may be bound.” And he said to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my ^[d]hair with the web ^[e][and fasten it with a pin, then I will become weak and be like any other man.”
