"Out of the eater, something to eat; out of the strong, something sweet." (Judges 14:14)
Common Wrong Answers
“A bear”
While a bear is a strong animal, it does not produce anything sweet like honey, nor is it related to a riddle about something being eaten out of it.
“A strong man”
This guess misunderstands the metaphorical language of the riddle. It suggests a literal person rather than interpreting the 'eater' and 'strong' as symbols, which leads to the correct answer involving a lion and honey.
“A honey jar”
A honey jar is not a living entity that can be considered 'eater' or 'strong'. The riddle refers to a specific situation involving a lion and the honeycomb, which the jar does not represent.
