Judges
King James Version (KJV)


“And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.”
King James Version (KJV)
16:7 Samson said - Samson is guilty both of the sin of lying, and of great folly in encouraging her enquiries, which he should at first have checked: but as he had forsaken God, so God had now forsaken him, otherwise the frequent repetition and vehement urging of this question might easily have raised suspicion in him.
And Samson said vnto her, If they binde mee with seuen greene withs, that were neuer dried, then shall I be weake, and be as another man.
