"And Samson answered him: “From this day, there shall be no guilt for me against the Philistines. For I will do harm to you all.” "
— Judges 15:3, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.”
“And Samson said unto them, This time shall I be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I do them a mischief. ”
“Samson said to them, "This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them."”
“Samson said to them,“This time I am justified in doing the Philistines harm!””
“And Samson answered him: From this day I shall be blameless in what I do against the Philistines: for I will do you evils.”
“Then Samson said to them, This time I will give payment in full to the Philistines, for I am going to do them great evil.”
“And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.”
Then, after some time, when the days of the wheat harvest were near, Samson arrived, intending to visit his wife, and he brought her a kid from the goats. And when he wanted to enter her bedroom, as usual, her father prohibited him, saying:
“I thought that you would hate her, and therefore I gave her to your friend. But she has a sister, who is younger and more beautiful than she is. And she may be a wife for you, instead of her.”
And Samson answered him: “From this day, there shall be no guilt for me against the Philistines. For I will do harm to you all.”
And he went out and caught three hundred foxes. And he joined them tail to tail. And he tied torches between the tails.
And setting these on fire, he released them, so that they might rush from place to place. And immediately they went into the grain fields of the Philistines, setting these on fire, both the grain that was already bound for carrying, and what was still standing on the stalk. These were completely burned up, so much so that the flame also consumed even the vineyards and the olive groves.
And the Philistines said, “Who has done this thing?” And it was said: “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took away his wife, and gave her to another. He has done these things.” And the Philistines went up and burned the woman as well as her father.
