The riddle Samson tells his thirty companions at the feast
잔치에서 삼손이 동무 삼십명에게 한 수수께끼
Judges 14:10–14: Samson’s father goes down to the woman; and Samson makes a feast there, for the young men used to do so. When they see him, they bring thirty companions to be with him. Samson says to them, “Let me tell you a riddle now. If you can tell me the answer within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing; but if you can’t tell me the answer, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.” They say to him, “Tell us your riddle, that we may hear it.” He says to them, “Out of the eater came out food. Out of the strong came out sweetness.” They can’t in three days declare the riddle.
