Judges 16:11 in Context — Judges 16

9 E estavam espias em casa dela em uma câmara. Então ela lhe disse: Sansão, os filisteus sobre ti! E ele rompeu os vimes, como se rompe uma corda de estopa quando sente o fogo: e não se soube sua força.

10 Então Dalila disse a Sansão: Eis que tu me enganaste, e me disseste mentiras: revela-me pois agora, eu te rogo, como poderás ser acorrentado.

11 E ele lhe disse: Se me atarem fortemente com cordas novas, com as quais nenhuma coisa se tenha feito, eu me debilitarei, e serei como qualquer um dos homens.

12 E Dalila tomou cordas novas, e atou-lhe com elas, e disse-lhe: Sansão, os filisteus sobre ti! E os espias estavam em uma câmara. Mas ele as rompeu de seus braços como um fio.

13 E Dalila disse a Sansão: Até agora me enganas, e tratas comigo com mentiras. Revela-me pois agora como poderás ser acorrentado. Ele então lhe disse: Se teceres sete tranças de minha cabeça com a teia.
