Prov. 7:12,22‑27• 12now without, now in the broadways,--and she lieth in wait at every corner.
22He went after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, and as stocks serve for the correction of the fool;
23till an arrow strike through his liver: as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for its life.
24And now, ye sons, hearken unto me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
25Let not thy heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths:
26for she hath cast down many wounded, and all slain by her were strong.
27Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death. (Prov. 7:12,22‑27)
Judg. 16:4‑22• 4And it came to pass afterwards that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
5And the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Persuade him, and see in what his great strength is, and with what we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to overpower him; and we will each give thee eleven hundred silver-pieces.
6Then Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, in what is thy great strength, and with what thou mightest be bound to overpower thee.
7And Samson said to her, If they should bind me with seven fresh cords which have not been dried, then should I be weak, and be as another man.
8Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
9Now she had liers in wait abiding in the chamber; and she said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he broke the cords, as a thread of tow is broken when it touches the fire; and his strength was not known.
10And Delilah said to Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me and told me lies. Now tell me, I pray thee, with what thou mightest be bound.
11And he said to her, If they should bind me fast with new ropes, with which no work has been done, then should I be weak, and be as another man.
12And Delilah took new ropes, and bound him with them, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! Now there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he broke them from off his arms like a thread.
13And Delilah said to Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me and told me lies. Tell me with what thou mightest be bound. And he said to her, If thou shouldest weave the seven locks of my head with the web.
14And she fastened it with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep, and tore out the pin of the beam, and the web.
15Then she said to him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me? these three times hast thou mocked me, and hast not told me in what is thy great strength.
16And it came to pass when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was vexed unto death;
17and he told her all his heart, and said to her, There has not come a razor upon my head; for I am a Nazarite of God from my mother's womb; if I should be shaven, then my strength would go from me, and I should be weak, and be like all mankind.
18And Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, and she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this time, for he has told me all his heart. And the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and brought the money in their hand.
19And she made him sleep upon her knees, and called a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to overpower him, and his strength went from him.
20And she said, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson! And he awoke out of his sleep, and thought, I will go out as at other times before, and disengage myself. And he knew not that Jehovah had departed from him.
21And the Philistines seized him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gazah, and bound him with fetters of bronze; and he had to grind in the prison-house.
22But the hair of his head began to grow after he was shaved. (Judg. 16:4‑22)
