Saw a Philistine girl down in Timnah. Told Mum and Dad: get her for me. She's the one.

Out of the strong, something sweet.
Son of Manoah, from Zorah, tribe of Dan. Set apart to God before I was born: no wine, and no razor ever on my head. The Spirit of the LORD comes on me, and things happen. I like riddles. I don't like being crossed. I judged Israel twenty years, in the days when the Philistines ruled us.

Riddle for my thirty groomsmen, thirty sets of clothes on it: Out of the eater, something to eat. Out of the strong, something sweet.

If you hadn't ploughed with my heifer, you wouldn't have solved my riddle.
Three hundred foxes. Tied tail to tail, a torch between each pair. Let loose in the Philistines' grain.
The Spirit of the LORD came on me. The ropes went like burnt flax. A donkey's jawbone. A thousand men. With the jawbone of a donkey, I've piled them in heaps.
So thirsty I thought I'd die. Called out to the LORD. He split open the hollow at Lehi and water came out.
