5. Simeon and Levi,you are brothers,each a gruesome sword.
6. I never want to take partin your plans or deeds.You slaughtered peoplein your anger,and you crippled cattlefor no reason.
7. Now I place a curse on youbecause ofyour fierce anger.Your descendantswill be scatteredamong the tribes of Israel.
8. Judah, you will be praisedby your brothers;they will bow down to you,as you defeat your enemies.
9. My son, you are a lionready to eat your victim!You are terribly fierce;no one will bother you.
10. You will have power and ruleuntil nations obey youand come bringing gifts.
11. You will tie your donkeyto a choice grapevineand wash your clothesin wine from those grapes.
12. Your eyes are darker than wine,your teeth whiter than milk.
