Judges 16:9 in Context — Judges 16
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.
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.
