Judges 16:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ Then Samson answered her, “If they bind me with seven green cords that were never dried, then I shall be weak and be as another man.”

⁸ And the princes of the Philistines brought her seven green cords that were not dry, and she bound him with them.

⁹ And she had men lying in wait with her in the chamber. Then she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he broke the cords, as a thread of yarn is broken when it feels fire. So, his strength was not known.
