• Kupsabiny: “After that, Samson got very thirsty. Then he cried to God (for help), ‘God, it is you who used me your servant for this freeing/releasing to come. Will you really let thirst kill me until these Philistines who do not know you get the better of me?’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
