Judges 16:26 in Context — Judges 16

24 E vendo-o o povo, louvaram a seu deus, dizendo: Nosso deus entregou em nossas mãos a nosso inimigo, e ao destruidor de nossa terra, o qual havia matado a muitos de nós.

25 E aconteceu que, indo-se alegrando o coração deles, disseram: Chamai a Sansão, para que divirta diante de nós. E chamaram a Sansão do cárcere, e fazia de joguete diante deles; e puseram-no entre as colunas.

26 E Sansão disse ao jovem que o guiava pela mão: Aproxima-me, e faze-me segurar as colunas sobre que se sustenta a casa, para que me apoie sobre elas.

27 E a casa estava cheia de homens e mulheres: e todos os príncipes dos filisteus estavam ali; e no alto piso havia como três mil homens e mulheres, que estavam olhando o escárnio de Sansão.

28 Então clamou Sansão ao SENHOR, e disse: Senhor DEUS, lembra-te agora de mim, e esforça-me, te rogo, somente esta vez, ó Deus, para que de uma vez tome vingança dos filisteus, por meus dois olhos.
