    10Then Delilah said to Samson, "You have mocked me and told me lies. Now, please tell me how you can be bound."

    14So she fastened it with the pin and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he awoke from his sleep, and pulled out the pin of the loom and the web.

    15Then she said to him, "How can you say, 'I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times and have not told me where your great strength lies."
