Judges 14:10-14

10After his father went to see the woman, Samson threw a party. (This is what young men used to do.)

11When ⌞her family⌟ saw him, they chose 30 of their friends to be with him.

12Then Samson said to them, “Let me tell you a riddle. If you solve it during the seven days of the party, I’ll give you 30 linen shirts and 30 changes of clothes.

13But if you can’t solve it, you will give me the same things.” They responded, “Tell us your riddle! Let’s hear it!”

14So Samson said to them, “From the eater came something to eat. From the strong one came something sweet.” For three days they couldn’t solve the riddle.
