Judges 16:27-29

New Catholic Bible

²⁷ The temple was packed with men and women, and all of the lords of the Philistines were there as well. There were also about three thousand men and women upon the roof, watching while Samson was amusing them.

²⁸ Samson called out to the Lord and said, “O Lord, please remember me. I beg you, please strengthen me^[a] this one more time so that I might take vengeance upon the Philistines for my two eyes.”

²⁹ Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the temple was set. He braced himself against them, one with his right hand and one with his left hand.
