- 參孫的妻在丈夫面前啼哭說、你是恨我、不是愛我、你給我本國的人出謎語、卻沒有將意思告訴我.參孫回答說、連我父母我都沒有告訴、豈可告訴你呢。
- 七日筵宴之內、他在丈夫面前啼哭、到第七天逼著他、他纔將謎語的意思告訴他妻、他妻就告訴本國的人。
- 到第七天、日頭未落以前、那城裡的人對參孫說、有甚麼比蜜還甜呢、有甚麼比獅子還強呢.參孫對他們說、你們若非用我的母牛犢耕地、就猜不出我謎語的意思來。
- 耶和華的靈大大感動參孫、他就下到亞實基倫擊殺了三十個人、奪了他們的衣裳、將衣裳給了猜出謎語的人.參孫發怒、就上父家去了。
- 參孫的妻便歸了參孫的陪伴、就是作過他朋友的。

- And 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?
- And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
- And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion? and he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
- And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
- But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
