Judges 16:11
"Delilah said to Samson, “Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies. Now please tell me how you might be bound.”"
Key Reflection
In this verse, Delilah's accusation highlights the spiritual deception Samson had fallen into by relying on his physical strength rather than trusting in God. Her demand for the secret of his strength symbolizes the danger of masking true piety with superficial piety or human wisdom.
