13 After that De·liʹlah said to Samson: “Up till now you have trifled with me that you might speak lies to me.+ Do tell me with what you can be tied.”+ Then he said to her: “If you will weave the seven braids of my head with the warp+ thread.”

15 She now said to him: “How dare you say, ‘I do love you,’+ when your heart is not with me? These three times you have trifled with me and have not told me in what your great power is.”+
