Judges 16:8 in Context — Judges 16
6 Delila dit à Samson: Dis-moi, je te prie, d’où vient ta grande force, et avec quoi il faudrait te lier pour te dompter.
7 Samson lui dit: Si on me liait avec sept cordes fraîches, qui ne fussent pas encore sèches, je deviendrais faible et je serais comme un autre homme.
8 Les princes des Philistins apportèrent à Delila sept cordes fraîches, qui n’étaient pas encore sèches. Et elle le lia avec ces cordes.
9 Or des gens se tenaient en embuscade chez elle, dans une chambre. Elle lui dit: Les Philistins sont sur toi, Samson! Et il rompit les cordes, comme se rompt un cordon d’étoupe quand il sent le feu. Et l’on ne connut point d’où venait sa force.
10 Delila dit à Samson: Voici, tu t’es joué de moi, tu m’as dit des mensonges. Maintenant, je te prie, indique-moi avec quoi il faut te lier.
