16Samson's wife wept before him, and said, |You just hate me, and don't love me. You have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and haven't told it me.| He said to her, |Behold, I haven't told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell you?|
13 but if you can't declare it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.| They said to him, |Put forth your riddle, that we may hear it.|
14 He said to them, |Out of the eater came forth food. Out of the strong came forth sweetness.| They couldn't in three days declare the riddle.
15 It happened on the seventh day, that they said to Samson's wife, |Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you called us to impoverish us? Is it not so?|
16 Samson's wife wept before him, and said, |You just hate me, and don't love me. You have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and haven't told it me.| He said to her, |Behold, I haven't told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell you?|
17 She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it happened on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him severely; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18 The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, |What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?| He said to them, |If you hadn't plowed with my heifer, you wouldn't have found out my riddle.|
14:16Then Samson's wife threw herself on him, sobbing, "You hate me! You don't really love me. You've given my people a riddle, but you haven't told me the answer." "I haven't even explained it to my father or mother," he replied, "so why should I explain it to you?"
14:16And Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told [it] me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told [it] my father nor my mother, and shall I tell [it] thee?
14:16So she wept before Samson and complained, saying: Thou hatest me, and dost not love me: therefore thou wilt not expound to me the riddle which thou hast proposed to the sons of my people. But he answered: I would not tell it to my father and mother, and how can I tell it to thee?
14:16And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell thee?
14:16And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, |You only hate me, you do not love me; you have put a riddle to my countrymen, and you have not told me what it is.| And he said to her, |Behold, I have not told my father nor my mother, and shall I tell you?|
14:16And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?
14:16And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast proposed a riddle to the children of my people, and hast not told it to me. And he said to her, Behold, I have not told it to my father nor to my mother, and shall I tell it to thee?
14:16And Samson's wife weepeth for it, and saith, 'Thou hast only hated me, and hast not loved me; the riddle thou hast put forth to the sons of my people — and to me thou hast not declared it;' and he saith to her, 'Lo, to my father and to my mother I have not declared it — and to thee I declare it!'
14:16And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, You do but hate me, and love me not: you have put forth a riddle to the children of my people, and have not told it me. And he said to her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it you?
