Judges 13:23-23
"And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God. But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shown us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these." (KJV)
"Seeing and observing her husband's collapse, his fear and his whimpering, and listening to his foreboding of evil and his dark prophecies and his doubtings of the goodness of God, she doesn't cry or shout, she doesn't give way to hysteria and finally collapse in a state of unconsciousness, she doesn't ask irreverent questions or utter complaints against God-- she thinks, she reasons, she ponders the matter, and with a magnificent logic she arrives at the only conclusion that is really valid."
