5 Simeon and Levi are brothers;weapons of violence are their swords.
6 Let my soul not enter into their council;let my glory not be united with their assembly;for in their anger they killed menand in their self-will they hamstrung oxen.
7 Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce;and their wrath, for it is cruel!I will divide them in Jacoband scatter them in Israel.
8 Judah, your brothers shall praise you;your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;your father’s sons will bow down before you.
9 Judah is a lion’s cub;from the prey, my son, you have goneup.He crouches and lies down like a lion;and as a lion, who dares rouse him?
10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah,nor a lawgiver from between his feet,until Shiloh comes;and to him will be the obedience of the people.
11 He tethers his foal to the vine,and his colt to the choicest vine;he washes his garments in wine,his clothes in the blood of grapes.
