Judges 16:19-21

19 She made him sleep on her knees. And she called a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began ^ato torment him, and his strength left him. 20 And she said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he awoke from his sleep and said, “I will go out as at other times and shake myself free.” But he did not know that ^bthe Lord had left him. 21 And the Philistines seized him and gouged out his eyes and brought him down to Gaza and bound him with bronze shackles. ^cAnd he ground at the mill in the prison.

Psalms 38:1-8

Do Not Forsake Me, O Lord

A Psalm of David, ^dfor the memorial offering.

1 O Lord, ^erebuke me not in your anger,
nor discipline me in your wrath!
2 For your ^farrows have sunk into me,
and your hand ^ghas come down on me.
3 There is ^hno soundness in my flesh
because of your indignation;
there is no health in my ⁱbones
because of my sin.
4 For my ^jiniquities have gone over my head;
like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
5 My wounds stink and fester
because of my foolishness,
6 I am ^kutterly bowed down and ^lprostrate;
all the day I ^mgo about mourning.
7 For my sides are filled with burning,
and there is ⁿno soundness in my flesh.
8 I am feeble and crushed;
I ^ogroan because of the tumult of my heart.

Psalms 51:8

8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
^plet the bones ^qthat you have broken rejoice.

Proverbs 5:9-11

9 lest you give your honor to others
and your years to the merciless,
10 lest strangers take their fill of your strength,
and your ^rlabors go to the house of a foreigner,
11 and at the end of your life you ^sgroan,
when your flesh and body are consumed,
