'Tow' in the Bible

Now she had men lying in ambush in an inner room. And she said to him, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he broke the cords as a string of tow breaks when it touches fire. So [the secret of] his strength was not discovered.

The strong man will become tinder,And his work a spark.So both will burn togetherAnd there will be none to quench them.
