Judges 14:16-18
GOD’S WORD Translation
16 So Samson’s wife cried on his shoulder. She said, “You hate me! You don’t really love me! You gave my friends a riddle and didn’t tell me the answer.”
Samson replied, “I haven’t even told my father and mother, so why should I tell you?”
17 But she cried on his shoulder for the rest of the seven days of the party. Finally, on the seventh day he told her the answer because she made his life miserable. Then she told her friends the answer to the riddle.
18 So before sundown on the seventh day, the men of the city said to him,
“What is sweeter than honey?
What is stronger than a lion?”
Samson replied,
“If you hadn’t used my cow to plow,
you wouldn’t know my riddle now.”
