Genesis
Chapters 49:7-13
New International Version Anglicized
7Cursed be their anger, so fierce,and their fury, so cruel!I will scatter them in Jacoband disperse them in Israel.
8‘Judah, your brothers will praise you;your hand will be on the neck of your enemies;your father’s sons will bow down to you.
9You are a lion’s cub, Judah;you return from the prey, my son.Like a lion he crouches and lies down,like a lioness – who dares to rouse him?
10The sceptre will not depart from Judah,nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,until he to whom it belongs shall comeand the obedience of the nations shall be his.
11He will tether his donkey to a vine,his colt to the choicest branch;he will wash his garments in wine,his robes in the blood of grapes.
12His eyes will be darker than wine,his teeth whiter than milk.
13‘Zebulun will live by the seashoreand become a haven for ships;his border will extend towards Sidon.
