Riddles In The Bible

To understand a proverb and an enigma,
The words of the wise and their riddles. – Proverbs 1:6

Did you know that there are riddles within the Bible itself? It’s true! The most famous Bible riddle comes from the mighty Samson. He didn’t just enjoy having long locks of hair, but he also enjoyed a good riddle. He messed with the Philistines with this one…

“Out of the eater, something to eat; out of the strong, something sweet.” – Judges 14:14

It’s a tough one! Because it has to do with something Samson has experienced. The Philistines couldn’t figure it out so they made Samson’s wife tell them. And I love Samson’s response. I just think it’s hilarious. For more Funny Bible Verses Click Here.

Before sunset on the seventh day the men of the town said to him, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” Samson said to them, “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have solved my riddle.” – Judges 14:18

But Samson wasn’t the only one who used riddles. We see riddles used throughout Proverbs, in Ezekiel, and Jesus himself used them!
