Judges 16:15 in Context — Judges 16

13 Delila dit à Samson: Jusqu’à présent tu t’es joué de moi, tu m’as dit des mensonges. Déclare-moi avec quoi il faut te lier. Il lui dit: Tu n’as qu’à tisser les sept tresses de ma tête avec la chaîne du tissu.

14 Et elle les fixa par la cheville. Puis elle lui dit: Les Philistins sont sur toi, Samson! Et il se réveilla de son sommeil, et il arracha la cheville du tissu et le tissu.

15 Elle lui dit: Comment peux-tu dire: Je t’aime! Puisque ton cœur n’est pas avec moi? Voilà trois fois que tu t’es joué de moi, et tu ne m’as pas déclaré d’où vient ta grande force.

16 Comme elle était chaque jour à le tourmenter et à l’importuner par ses instances, son âme s’impatienta à la mort,

17 il lui ouvrit tout son cœur, et lui dit: Le rasoir n’a point passé sur ma tête, parce que je suis consacré à Dieu dès le ventre de ma mère. Si j’étais rasé, ma force m’abandonnerait, je deviendrais faible, et je serais comme tout autre homme.
