Judges 16:7 in Context — Judges 16

5 E vieram a ela os príncipes dos filisteus, e disseram-lhe: Engana-o e sabe em que consiste sua grande força, e como o poderíamos vencer, para que o amarremos e o atormentemos; e cada um de nós te dará mil e cem siclos de prata.

6 E Dalila disse a Sansão: Eu te rogo que me declares em que consiste tua grande força, e como poderás ser acorrentado para ser atormentado.

7 E respondeu-lhe Sansão: Se me atarem com sete vimes verdes que ainda não estejam secos, então me debilitarei, e serei como qualquer um dos homens.

8 E os príncipes dos filisteus lhe trouxeram sete vimes verdes que ainda não se haviam secado, e atou-lhe com eles.

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.
