¹² And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:

² I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

⁹ Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?

¹³ Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

²⁵ These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
