Judges, 16

13. And Delilah spoke to him again: “How long will you deceive me and tell me falsehoods? Reveal with what you ought to be bound.” And Samson responded to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head with a loom, and if you tie these around a spike and fix it to the ground, I will be weak.”

Judges 16 tells the story of Samson and his fall after getting involved with Delilah, a Philistine woman who seduces him and tries to discover the source of his strength. Samson ends up revealing the secret of his strength to Delilah, who betrays and gives him to the Philistines, who attach it, blind and use it as a spectacle in their temples. Below are five verses related to the topics addressed in Judges 16.

Proverbs 16:18: "Pride precedes destruction, and the haughty of the Spirit precedes the fall." Samson is an example of how arrogance and excessive confidence in their own skills can lead to fall.

Romans 6:23: "For the salary of sin is death, but God's free gift is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." The fall of Samson in Judges 16 serves as a reminder that our choices have consequences and that disobedience to God can lead to destruction.

1 Corinthians 10:13: "It has not come upon you attempting, if not human, but faithful is God, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you may resist, first with the temptation will also give the escape so that you may bear it." Samson is tempted by Delilah in Judges 16, but he chooses to give in to temptation rather than seeking God's help and strength to resist.

2 Corinthians 12:9: "And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, because my power is perfect in weakness. Therefore, goodwill before I will glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ rest . " Samson's history in judges 16 shows the importance of recognizing our weakness and relying on God's grace and power to help us overcome temptation.

James 1:14-15: "But each one is tempted, when attracted and sliced ​​by his own lust. Then, if there is concerted lust, gives birth to sin; and sin, being consummated, generates death." The fall of Samson in Judges 16 is an example of how to give in to temptation can lead to sin and death.





“Pobres e desafortunadas as almas que se envolvem no turbilhão de preocupações deste mundo. Quanto mais amam o mundo, mais suas paixões crescem, mais queimam de desejos, mais se tornam incapazes de atingir seus objetivos. E vêm, então, as inquietações, as impaciências e terríveis sofrimentos profundos, pois seus corações não palpitam com a caridade e o amor. Rezemos por essas almas desafortunadas e miseráveis, para que Jesus, em Sua infinita misericórdia, possa perdoá-las e conduzi-las a Ele.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
