Judges 16:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁵ Then she said to him, ‘How can you say, “I love you”, when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me three times now and have not told me what makes your strength so great.’ ¹⁶ Finally, after she had nagged him with her words day after day, and pestered him, he was tired to death. ¹⁷ So he told her his whole secret, and said to her, ‘A razor has never come upon my head; for I have been a nazirite^[a] to God from my mother’s womb. If my head were shaved, then my strength would leave me; I would become weak, and be like anyone else.’
