Genesis 49:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Thou wast light as water: thou shalt not be excellent, because (A)thou wentest up to thy father’s bed: [a]then diddest thou defile my bed, thy dignity is gone.
5 ¶ Simeon and Levi, brethren in evil, [b]the instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
6 Into their secret let not my soul come: my [c]glory be not thou joined with their assembly: for in their wrath they slew a [d]man, and in their self-will they dug down a wall.
