Judges 16:14-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 So while he slept, Delilah took the seven locks of his head and wove them into the web[a] and made them tight with the pin. Then she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” But he awoke from his sleep and pulled away the pin, the loom, and the web.
15 Then she said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me three times now and have not told me what makes your strength so great.”(A) 16 Finally, after she had nagged him with her words day after day and pestered him, he was tired to death.
