And Samson answered her: If I shall be bound with seven cords, made of sinews not yet dry, but still moist, I shall be weak like other men.
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלֶ֙יהָ֙ שִׁמְשׁ֔וֹן אִם־יַאַסְרֻ֗נִי בְּשִׁבְעָ֛ה יְתָרִ֥ים לַחִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹא־חֹרָ֑בוּ וְחָלִ֥יתִי וְהָיִ֖יתִי כְּאַחַ֥ד הָאָדָֽם׃
One Church Father comments on this verse
He, remaining alert and steadfast in spirit against the temptations of the seductress, responded to her deceit with wisdom of his own. He declared that if he were to be ensnared by the tender, unripe tendrils of the vine, his physical strength would diminish like that of others around him.
