And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto her, If they bindH631 me with sevenH7651 greenH3892 withsH3499 that were never driedH2717, then shall I be weakH2470, and be as anotherH259 manH120. {green…: or, new cords: Heb. moist} {another: Heb. one}
Then the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 brought upH5927 to her sevenH7651 greenH3892 withsH3499 which had not been driedH2717, and she boundH631 him with them. {green…: or, new cords: Heb. moist}

And she made him sleepH3462 upon her kneesH1290; and she calledH7121 for a manH376, and she caused him to shave offH1548 the sevenH7651 locksH4253 of his headH7218; and she beganH2490 to afflictH6031 him, and his strengthH3581 wentH5493 from him.
And she saidH559, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And he awokeH3364 out of his sleepH8142, and saidH559, I will go outH3318 as at other times beforeH6471, and shakeH5287 myself. And he wistH3045 not that the LORDH3068 was departedH5493 from him.
But the PhilistinesH6430 tookH270 him, and put outH5365 his eyesH5869, and brought him downH3381 to GazaH5804, and boundH631 him with fetters of brassH5178; and he did grindH2912 in the prisonH631 houseH1004. {put out: Heb. bored out}

And I findH4672 more bitterH4751 than deathH4194 the womanH802, whose heartH3820 is snaresH4685 and netsH2764, and her handsH3027 as bandsH612: whoso pleasethH2896+H6440 GodH430 shall escapeH4422 from her; but the sinnerH2398 shall be takenH3920 by her. {whoso…: Heb. he that is good before God}
