Judges 16:9

9 Now she had men lying in ambush in an inner chamber. And she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” But he snapped the bowstrings, as a thread of flax snaps when it touches the fire. So the secret of his strength was not known.

Job 8:18

18 If he is destroyed from his ^aplace,
then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have never ^bseen you.’

Jeremiah 17:8

8 ^cHe is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
