10 So his father went down to the woman. And Samson gave a feast there, for young men used to do so.
11 And it happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 Then Samson said to them, “Let me apose a riddle to you. If you can correctly solve and explain it to me bwithin the seven days of the feast, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty cchanges of clothing.
13 But if you cannot explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.” And they said to him, a“Pose your riddle, that we may hear it.”
14 So he said to them:
“Out of the eater came something to eat,
And out of the strong came something sweet.” Now for three days they could not explain the riddle.
“Out of the eater came something to eat,
And out of the strong came something sweet.” Now for three days they could not explain the riddle.
15 But it came to pass on the1 seventh day that they said to Samson’s wife, a“Entice your husband, that he may explain the riddle to us, bor else we will burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you invited us in order to take what is ours? Is that not so?”
