12 And Samson H8123 said H559 unto them, I will now put forth H2330 a riddle H2420 unto you: if ye can certainly H5046 declare H5046 it me within the seven H7651 days H3117 of the feast, H4960 and find it out, H4672 then I will give H5414 you thirty H7970 sheets H5466 and thirty H7970 change H2487 of garments: H899
Son H1121 of man, H120 put forth H2330 a riddle, H2420 and speak H4911 a parable H4912 unto the house H1004 of Israel; H3478
And he said, H559 All is well. H7965 My master H113 hath sent H7971 me, saying, H559 Behold, even now there be come H935 to me from mount H2022 Ephraim H669 two H8147 young men H5288 of the sons H1121 of the prophets: H5030 give H5414 them, I pray thee, a talent H3603 of silver, H3701 and two H8147 changes H2487 of garments. H899
And the king H4428 of Syria H758 said, H559 Go to, H3212 go, H935 and I will send H7971 a letter H5612 unto the king H4428 of Israel. H3478 And he departed, H3212 and took H3947 with him H3027 ten H6235 talents H3603 of silver, H3701 and six H8337 thousand H505 pieces of gold, H2091 and ten H6235 changes H2487 of raiment. H899
And G1161 he put forth G3004 a parable G3850 to G4314 those which were bidden, G2564 when he marked G1907 how G4459 they chose out G1586 the chief rooms; G4411 saying G3004 unto G4314 them, G846
Your G5216 riches G4149 are corrupted, G4595 and G2532 your G5216 garments G2440 are G1096 motheaten. G4598
His G846 disciples G3101 said G3004 unto him, G846 Lo, G2396 now G3568 speakest thou G2980 plainly, G3954 and G2532 speakest G3004 no G3762 proverb. G3942
Fulfil H4390 her H2063 week, H7620 and we will give H5414 thee this also for the service H5656 which thou shalt serve H5647 with me yet seven H7651 other H312 years. H8141 And Jacob H3290 did H6213 so, and fulfilled H4390 her week: H7620 and he gave H5414 him Rachel H7354 his daughter H1323 to wife H802 also.
And G2532 there followed G190 him G846 a G1520 certain G5100 young man, G3495 having a linen cloth G4616 cast G4016 about G1909 his naked G1131 body; and G2532 the young men G3495 laid hold G2902 on him: G846 And G1161 he left G2641 the linen cloth, G4616 and fled G5343 from G575 them G846 naked. G1131
And G2532 they stripped G1562 him, G846 and put on G4060 him G846 a scarlet G2847 robe. G5511
Lay G2343 not G3361 up G2343 for yourselves G5213 treasures G2344 upon G1909 earth, G1093 where G3699 moth G4597 and G2532 rust G1035 doth corrupt, G853 and G2532 where G3699 thieves G2812 break through G1358 and G2532 steal: G2813
