Judges 16:11-13

New Life Version

¹¹ Samson said to her, “They must tie me with new ropes which have never been used. Then I will become weak and be like any other man.” ¹² So Delilah took new ropes, tied Samson with them, and said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” Men were hiding and waiting in another room. But Samson broke the ropes from his arms like a string.

¹³ Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have fooled me and told me lies until now. Tell me how you can be tied.” Samson said to her, “You must work the seven strings of my hair into the cloth you are making and hold it there with a nail. Then I will become weak and be like any other man.”
