Judges 14:12-19

And Samson
<08123>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, I will now put forth
<02330> (8799)

a riddle
<02420>

unto you: if ye can certainly
<05046> (8687)

declare
<05046> (8686)

it me within the seven
<07651>

days
<03117>

of the feast
<04960>_,

and find [it] out
<04672> (8804)_,

then I will give
<05414> (8804)

you thirty
<07970>

sheets
<05466>

and thirty
<07970>

change
<02487>

of garments
<0899>_:

{sheets: or, shirts}

But if ye cannot
<03201> (8799)

declare
<05046> (8687)

[it] me, then shall ye give
<05414> (8804)

me thirty
<07970>

sheets
<05466>

and thirty
<07970>

change
<02487>

of garments
<0899>_.

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Put forth
<02330> (8798)

thy riddle
<02420>_,

that we may hear
<08085> (8799)

it. {sheets: or, shirts}

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Out of the eater
<0398> (8802)

came forth
<03318> (8804)

meat
<03978>_,

and out of the strong
<05794>

came forth
<03318> (8804)

sweetness
<04966>_.

And they could
<03201> (8804)

not in three
<07969>

days
<03117>

expound
<05046> (8687)

the riddle
<02420>_.

And it came to pass on the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>_,

that they said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samson's
<08123>

wife
<0802>_,

Entice
<06601> (8761)

thy husband
<0376>_,

that he may declare
<05046> (8686)

unto us the riddle
<02420>_,

lest we burn
<08313> (8799)

thee and thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>

with fire
<0784>_:

have ye called
<07121> (8804)

us to take that we have
<03423> (8800)_?

[is it] not [so]? {take...: Heb. possess us, or, impoverish us?}

And Samson's
<08123>

wife
<0802>

wept
<01058> (8799)

before him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou dost but hate
<08130> (8804)

me, and lovest
<0157> (8804)

me not: thou hast put forth
<02330> (8804)

a riddle
<02420>

unto the children
<01121>

of my people
<05971>_,

and hast not told
<05046> (8689)

[it] me. And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Behold, I have not told
<05046> (8689)

[it] my father
<01>

nor my mother
<0517>_,

and shall I tell
<05046> (8686)

[it] thee?

And she wept
<01058> (8799)

before him the seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_,

while their feast
<04960>

lasted
<01961> (8804)_:

and it came to pass on the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>_,

that he told
<05046> (8686)

her, because she lay sore
<06693> (8689)

upon him: and she told
<05046> (8686)

the riddle
<02420>

to the children
<01121>

of her people
<05971>_.

{the seven...: or, the rest of the seven days}

And the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him on the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>

before the sun
<02775>

went down
<0935> (8799)_,

What [is] sweeter
<04966>

than honey
<01706>_?

and what [is] stronger
<05794>

than a lion
<0738>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, If
<03884>

ye had not plowed
<02790> (8804)

with my heifer
<05697>_,

ye had not found out
<04672> (8804)

my riddle
<02420>_.

And the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

came
<06743> (8799)

upon him, and he went down
<03381> (8799)

to Ashkelon
<0831>_,

and slew
<05221> (8686)

thirty
<07970>

men
<0376>

of them, and took
<03947> (8799)

their spoil
<02488>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

change
<02487>

of garments unto them which expounded
<05046> (8688)

the riddle
<02420>_.

And his anger
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)_,

and he went up
<05927> (8799)

to his father's
<01>

house
<01004>_.
