Judges 16:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 (A)Then she said to him, “How can you say ‘I love you’ when your heart is not mine? Three times already you have mocked me, and not told me where you get your great strength!” 16 (B)She pressed him continually and pestered him till he was deathly weary of it. 17 So he told her all that was in his heart and said, “No razor has touched my head, for I have been a nazirite for God from my mother’s womb.(C) If I am shaved, my strength will leave me, and I shall grow weaker and be like anyone else.”
