God's Word Translation

Judges 16:25-28 God's Word Translation (GW)

25. When all the Philistines were enjoying themselves, they said, “Call Samson in to entertain us.”Samson was called from the prison, and he made them laugh. They made him stand between two columns.

26. Samson told the young man who was leading him by the hand, “Let me rest. Let me touch the columns on which the building stands so that I can lean against them.”

27. The building was filled with people. All the Philistine rulers were there. On the roof there were about three thousand men and women who watched Samson entertain them.

28. Then Samson called to the Lord, “Almighty Lord, please remember me! God, give me strength just one more time! Let me get even with the Philistines for at least one of my two eyes.”
