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.
12. His eyes are darker than wine,and his teeth whiter than milk.
