12 H8123 And Samson H559 said H2330 unto them, Let me now put forth H2420 a riddle H5046 unto you: if ye can H5046 declare H7651 it unto me within the seven H3117 days H4960 of the feast, H4672 and find it out, H5414 then I will give H7970 you thirty H5466 linen garments H7970 and thirty H2487 changes H899 of raiment;

13 H3201 but if ye cannot H5046 declare H5414 it unto me, then shall ye give H7970 me thirty H5466 linen garments H7970 and thirty H2487 changes H899 of raiment. H559 And they said H2330 unto him, Put forth H2420 thy riddle, H8085 that we may hear it.

14 H559 And he said H398 unto them, Out of the eater H3318 came forth H3978 food, H5794 And out of the strong H3318 came forth H4966 sweetness. H3201 And they could H7969 not in three H3117 days H5046 declare H2420 the riddle.

15 H7637 And it came to pass on the seventh H3117 day, H559 that they said H8123 unto Samson's H802 wife, H6601 Entice H376 thy husband, H5046 that he may declare H2420 unto us the riddle, H8313 lest we burn H1 thee and thy father's H1004 house H784 with fire: H7121 have ye called H3423 us to impoverish us? is it not so?

16 H8123 And Samson's H802 wife H1058 wept H559 before him, and said, H8130 Thou dost but hate H157 me, and lovest H2330 me not: thou hast put forth H2420 a riddle H1121 unto the children H5971 of my people, H5046 and hast not told H559 it me. And he said H5046 unto her, Behold, I have not told H1 it my father H517 nor my mother, H5046 and shall I tell thee?

17 H1058 And she wept H7651 before him the seven H3117 days, H4960 while their feast H1961 lasted: H7637 and it came to pass on the seventh H3117 day, H5046 that he told H6693 her, because she pressed him sore; H5046 and she told H2420 the riddle H1121 to the children H5971 of her people.

H5794 and what is stronger H738 than a lion? H559 And he said H3884 unto them, If H2790 ye had not plowed H5697 with my heifer, H4672 Ye had not found out H2420 my riddle.

19 H7307 And the Spirit H3068 of Jehovah H6743 came H3381 mightily upon him, and he went down H831 to Ashkelon, H5221 and smote H7970 thirty H376 men H3947 of them, and took H2488 their spoil, H5414 and gave H2487 the changes H5046 of raiment unto them that declared H2420 the riddle. H639 And his anger H2734 was kindled, H5927 and he went up H1 to his father's H1004 house.
