6 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.
6 So Delilah said to Samson, "Tell me the secret of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued."
6 So Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength lies, and how you might be bound, that one could subdue you."
6 So Delilah said to Samson, "Tell me, dear, the secret of your great strength, and how you can be tied up and humbled."
6 So Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength lies, and with what you may be bound to afflict you."
6 So Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me what makes you so strong and what it would take to tie you up securely."

Commentary on Judges 16:4-17
(Read Judges 16:4-17)
Samson had been more than once brought into mischief and danger by the love of women, yet he would not take warning, but is again taken in the same snare, and this third time is fatal. Licentiousness is one of the things that take away the heart. This is a deep pit into which many have fallen; but from which few have escaped, and those by a miracle of mercy, with the loss of reputation and usefulness, of almost all, except their souls. The anguish of the suffering is ten thousand times greater than all the pleasures of the sin.
