Judges, 14

16. Samson's wife began to weep and she threw herself upon her husband saying, "You do not like me or love me anymore. You have given a riddle to the young men of my people, but you have not explained it to me." He said to her, "I have not explained it even to my parents, why should I explain it to you?"

Verse im Zusammenhang mit Judges, 14:

Judges 14 tells the story of Samson, one of the judges of Israel, who asks his parents to look for a wife for him among the Philistines. They agree, but Samson falls in love with a woman who doesn't please her parents. During the wedding, Samson proposes a riddle to the party guests, who is only resolved with the help of Samson's wife. He gets furious and kills thirty Philistine men to fulfill the bet. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in judges 14.

Proverbs 14:15: "The fool believes in everything, but the prudent man knows how to think of his actions." Samson acts impulsively in judges 14, being carried away by their emotions and desires without considering the consequences of their actions.

Ecclesiastes 7:9: "Do not hurry to get angry, as irritation is at the root of many mistakes." Samson's anger at the puzzle of the puzzle leads him to act hastily and violently, killing thirty Philistine men.

Isaiah 1:18: "Come, and let us, say the LORD," even if your sins are like scarlet, they will become white like snow; even if they are red as Carmesim, they will become like white wool. " Even after his mistake in Judges 14, Samson has the opportunity to regret and find redemption.

Matthew 7:6: "Do not give what is holy to dogs, nor throw their pearls to the pigs, for they shall tread them and, turning them, shaking them." Samson's wife in Judges 14, despite helping to solve the riddle, ends up betraying him and revealing the answer to the Philistines. This shows the importance of carefully choosing those we trust.

Colossians 3:23: "Everything they do, do with all the heart, as for the Lord and not to men." The story of Samson in Judges 14 serves as a reminder that we must always seek God's will in our actions and not let us lead by our own selfish desires.





“O Senhor sempre orienta e chama; mas não se quer segui-lo e responder-lhe, pois só se vê os próprios interesses. Às vezes, pelo fato de se ouvir sempre a Sua voz, ninguém mais se apercebe dela; mas o Senhor ilumina e chama. São os homens que se colocam na posição de não conseguir mais escutar.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
