And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 16 of Judges. Delilah insists again, and Samson continues playing with her through false answers. Eventually the narrative moves toward the point where she binds his hair and attempts to neutralize him. The repetition shows that Samson recognizes the danger but continues approaching it. The problem is not lack of knowledge but a growing inability to distance himself from what threatens his consecration.

Delila aber sprach zu ihm: Bisher hast du mich getäuscht und mir gelogen. Sage mir doch, womit kann man dich binden? Er antwortete ihr: Wenn du mir die sieben Locken meines Hauptes zusammenflöchtest mit einem Gewebe und heftetest sie mit dem Nagel ein.
Y Dalila dijo a Samsón: Hasta ahora me engañas, y tratas conmigo con mentiras. Descúbreme pues ahora cómo podrás ser atado. El entonces le dijo: Si tejieres siete guedejas de mi cabeza con la tela.
Dalila le dijo a Sansón: «Hasta ahora te has burlado de mí y me has dicho mentiras. Dime con qué podrías ser atado». Él le respondió: «Si entretejes los siete mechones de mi cabeza con la trama del telar…».
Delila dit à Samson: Jusqu'à présent tu t'es joué de moi, tu m'as dit des mensonges. Déclare-moi avec quoi il faut te lier. Il lui dit: Tu n'as qu'à tisser les sept tresses de ma tête avec la chaîne du tissu.
Poi Delila gli disse: Tu mi hai beffata fino ad ora, e mi hai dette delle bugie; dichiarami con che tu potresti esser legato. Ed egli le disse: Se tu tessessi le sette ciocche del mio capo ad un subbio.
E disse Dalila a Sansão: Até agora zombaste de mim, e me disseste mentiras; declara-me pois, agora, com que poderias ser amarrado? E ele lhe disse: Se teceres sete tranças dos cabelos da minha cabeça com o liço da teia.
大利拉 對 參孫 說:「你到現在還是欺騙我,對我說謊。請你告訴我,要用甚麼方法才能捆綁你。」 參孫 對她說:「只要用織布的線將我頭上的七條髮綹編織起來就可以了」。
