Judges 16:7

Samson said to her, “If they tie me up with seven fresh ¹  bowstrings ²  that have not been dried, I will become weak and be just like any other man.”

Samson answered her, "If anyone ties me with seven fresh thongs that have not been dried, I’ll become as weak as any other man."

Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh cords that have not been dried, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

Samson replied, "If I am tied up with seven new bowstrings that have not yet been dried, I will be as weak as anyone else."

Samson told her, "If they were to tie me up with seven bowstrings--the kind made from fresh animal tendons, not dried out--then I would become weak, just like anyone else."

And Samson said to her, If seven new bow-cords which have never been made dry are knotted round me, I will become feeble and will be like any other man.

Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh bowstrings that are not dried out, then I shall become weak, and be like anyone else."

And Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh bowstrings, not yet dried, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."

Samson said to her, “If they tie me up with seven fresh ¹  bowstrings ²  that have not been dried, I will become weak and be just like any other man.”
