The new ropes fail

10Then Delilah said to Samson, “Look, you have mocked me and spoken lies to me. Now please tell me what you may be bound with.”

11He said to her, “If they bind me with new ropes that have never been used for work, then I will become weak and be like one of the men.”

12Then Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” Now the ambush was sitting in the inner room, but he snapped them from off his arms like a thread.
