Judges 16:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 And the princes of the Philistines brought her seven green cords that were not dry, and she bound him therewith.
9 (And she had [a]men lying in wait with her in the chamber) Then she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the cords, as a thread of tow is broken, when [b]it feeleth fire: so his strength was not known.
10 ¶ After Delilah said unto Samson, See, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies. I pray thee now, [c]tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound.
