18 When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, |Come up this once, for he has told me all his heart.| Then the lords of the Philistines went up to her, and brought the money in their hands. 19 She made him sleep on her knees; and she called for a man, and shaved off the seven locks of his head; and he began to weaken, and his strength went from him. 20 She said, |The Philistines are upon you, Samson.| He awoke out of his sleep, and said, |I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free.| But he didn't know that the LORD had departed from him. 21 The Philistines seized him, and gouged out his eyes. And they brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with bronze shackles, and he ground at the mill in the prison. Judges 16:18-21, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
