Judges 16:8 ASV

⁶  And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.

⁷  And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man.

⁸  Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withes which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.

⁹  Now she had liers-in-wait abiding in the inner chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withes, as a string of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.

¹⁰  And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.
