1 Jacob called his sons and said to them: Gather together so that I can tell you what will happen to you in the last days.
2 Be assembled and listen, sons of Jacob, and listen to Israel your father.
3 Reuben, my firstborn are you, my vigor and firstborn of my power, endowed with extra dignity, endowed with extra strength—
4 like water boiling over you will not have extra, for you got up into your father’s bed, when you defiled a maid’s couch.
