Judges 14:12-18

12And SamsonH8123 saidH559 to them, Let me now propound a riddleH2420 to you; if ye clearly explain it to me within the sevenH7651 daysH3117 of the feastH4960, and findH4672 [it] out, then I will giveH5414 you thirtyH7970 shirts, and thirtyH7970 changes of garmentsH899.

13But if ye cannot explain [it] to me, then shall ye giveH5414 me thirtyH7970 shirts, and thirtyH7970 changes of garmentsH899. And they saidH559 to him, Propound thy riddleH2420, that we may hearH8085 it.

14And he saidH559 to them, Out of the eater cameH3318 forthH3318 foodH3978, And out of the strongH5794 cameH3318 forthH3318 sweetness. And they could not in threeH7969 daysH3117 explain the riddleH2420.

15And it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that they saidH559 to Samson's wifeH802, Persuade thy husbandH376, that he may explain to us the riddleH2420, lestH6435 we burnH8313 thee and thy father's houseH1004 with fireH784. Have ye invited us to impoverishH3423 us, — is it not [so]?

16And Samson's wifeH802 weptH1058 before him, and saidH559, Thou dost but hateH8130 me, and lovest me not. Thou hast propounded the riddleH2420 to the children of my peopleH5971, and hast not explained it to me. And he saidH559 to her, Behold, I have not explained it to my fatherH1 nor my motherH517, and shall I explain it to thee?

17And she weptH1058 before him the sevenH7651 daysH3117, while they had the feastH4960. And it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that he explained it to her, for she pressed him. And she explained the riddleH2420 to the children of her peopleH5971.

18And the menH376 of the cityH5892 saidH559 to him on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 before the sun wentH935 down, What is sweeter than honeyH1706, And what strongerH5794 than a lionH738? And he saidH559 to them, If ye had not ploughed with my heiferH5697, Ye had not foundH4672 out my riddleH2420.
