Judges 14:10-14
10Then his fatherH1 wentH3381 downH3381 to the womanH802; and SamsonH8123 madeH6213 a feastH4960 thereH8033, for the youngH970 menH970 customarily didH6213 thisH3651. 11When they sawH7200 him, they broughtH3947 thirtyH7970 companionsH4828 to be with him. 12Then SamsonH8123 saidH559 to them, “Let me nowH4994 1propoundH2330 a riddleH2420 to you; ifH518 you will indeedH5046 tellH5046 it to me within the sevenH7651 daysH3117 of the feastH4960, and findH4672 it out, then I will giveH5414 you thirtyH7970 linenH5466 wrapsH5466 and thirtyH7970 2changesH2487 of clothesH899. 13But ifH518 you are unableH3808H3201 to tellH5046 me, then you shall giveH5414 me thirtyH7970 linenH5466 wrapsH5466 and thirtyH7970 changesH2487 of clothesH899.” And they saidH559 to him, “PropoundH2330 your riddleH2420, that we may hearH8085 it.” 14So he saidH559 to them, “Out of the eaterH398 cameH3318 somethingH3978 to eatH3978, And out of the strongH5794 cameH3318 somethingH4966 sweetH4966.” But they couldH3201 not tellH5046 the riddleH2420 in threeH7969 daysH3117.
