9 Judah is a young lion —my son, you return from the kill.He crouches; he lies down like a lionor a lioness — who dares to rouse him?
10 The scepter will not depart from Judahor the staff from between his feetuntil He whose right it is comes and the obedience of the peoples belongs to Him.
11 He ties his donkey to a vine,and the colt of his donkey to the choice vine.He washes his clothes in wineand his robes in the blood of grapes.
12 His eyes are darker than wine,and his teeth are whiter than milk.
13 Zebulun will live by the seashoreand will be a harbor for ships,and his territory will be next to Sidon.
14 Issachar is a strong donkeylying down between the saddlebags.
15 He saw that his resting place was goodand that the land was pleasant,so he leaned his shoulder to bear a loadand became a forced laborer.
