11 Dès qu’on le vit, on invita trente compagnons qui se tinrent avec lui.

12 Samson leur dit: Je vais vous proposer une énigme. Si vous me l’expliquez pendant les sept jours du festin, et si vous la découvrez, je vous donnerai trente chemises et trente vêtements de rechange.

13 Mais si vous ne pouvez pas me l’expliquer, ce sera vous qui me donnerez trente chemises et trente vêtements de rechange. Ils lui dirent: Propose ton énigme, et nous l’écouterons.

14 Et il leur dit: De celui qui mange est sorti ce qui se mange, et du fort est sorti le doux. Pendant trois jours, ils ne purent expliquer l’énigme.

15 Le septième jour, ils dirent à la femme de Samson: Persuade ton mari de nous expliquer l’énigme; sinon, nous te brûlerons, toi et la maison de ton père. C’est pour nous dépouiller que vous nous avez invités, n’est-ce pas?
