Judges 16:4-22
After this Samson fell in love with a woman named Delilah, who lived in the Sorek Valley.The rulers of the Philistines went up to visit her and said to her,“ Trick him! Find out what makes him so strong and how we can subdue him and humiliate him. Each one of us will give you eleven hundred silver pieces.”So Delilah said to Samson,“ Tell me what makes you so strong and how you can be subdued and humiliated.”Samson said to her,“ If they tie me up with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, I will become weak and be just like any other man.”So the rulers of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings which had not been dried and they tied him up with them.They hid in the bedroom and then she said to him,“ The Philistines are here, Samson!” He snapped the bowstrings as easily as a thread of yarn snaps when it is put close to fire. The secret of his strength was not discovered.Delilah said to Samson,“ Look, you deceived me and told me lies! Now tell me how you can be subdued.”He said to her,“ If they tie me tightly with brand new ropes that have never been used, I will become weak and be just like any other man.”So Delilah took new ropes and tied him with them and said to him,“ The Philistines are here, Samson!”( The Philistines were hiding in the bedroom.) But he tore the ropes from his arms as if they were a piece of thread.Delilah said to Samson,“ Up to now you have deceived me and told me lies. Tell me how you can be subdued.” He said to her,“ If you weave the seven braids of my hair into the fabric on the loom and secure it with the pin, I will become weak and be like any other man.”So she made him go to sleep, wove the seven braids of his hair into the fabric on the loom, fastened it with the pin, and said to him,“ The Philistines are here, Samson!” He woke up and tore away the pin of the loom and the fabric.She said to him,“ How can you say,‘ I love you,’ when you will not share your secret with me? Three times you have deceived me and have not told me what makes you so strong.”She nagged him every day and pressured him until he was sick to death of it.Finally he told her his secret. He said to her,“ My hair has never been cut, for I have been dedicated to God from the time I was conceived. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me; I would become weak, and be just like all other men.”When Delilah saw that he had told her his secret, she sent for the rulers of the Philistines, saying,“ Come up here again, for he has told me his secret.” So the rulers of the Philistines went up to visit her, bringing the silver in their hands.She made him go to sleep on her lap and then called a man in to shave off the seven braids of his hair. She made him vulnerable and his strength left him.She said,“ The Philistines are here, Samson!” He woke up and thought,“ I will do as I did before and shake myself free.” But he did not realize that the LORD had left him.The Philistines captured him and gouged out his eyes. They brought him down to Gaza and bound him in bronze chains. He became a grinder in the prison.His hair began to grow back after it had been shaved off.

Proverbs 7:22-27
Suddenly he went after her like an ox that goes to the slaughter, like a stag prancing into a trapper’s snaretill an arrow pierces his liver– like a bird hurrying into a trap, and he does not know that it will cost him his life.So now, sons, listen to me, and pay attention to the words I speak.Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways– do not wander into her pathways;for she has brought down many fatally wounded, and all those she has slain are many.Her house is the way to the grave, going down to the chambers of death.
