Judges 16:21 in Context — Judges 16

19 E ela fez que ele dormisse sobre seus joelhos; e chamado um homem, rapou-lhe sete tranças de sua cabeça, e começou a afligi-lo, pois sua força se apartou dele.

20 E disse-lhe: Sansão, os filisteus sobre ti! E logo que despertou ele de seu sonho, se disse: Esta vez sairei como as outras, e me escaparei: não sabendo que o SENHOR já se havia dele apartado.

21 Mas os filisteus lançaram mão dele, e tiraram-lhe os olhos, e o levaram a Gaza; e o ataram com correntes, para que moesse no cárcere.

22 E o cabelo de sua cabeça começou a crescer, depois que foi rapado.

23 Então os príncipes dos filisteus se juntaram para oferecer sacrifício a Dagom seu deus, e para alegrar-se; e disseram: Nosso deus entregou em nossas mãos a Sansão nosso inimigo.
