Genesis 49:10-12
Common English Bible
10 The scepter won’t depart from Judah,
nor the ruler’s staff from among his banners.[a]
Gifts will be brought to him;
people will obey him.
11 He ties his male donkey to the vine,
the colt of his female donkey to the vine’s branches.
He washes his clothes in wine,
his garments in the blood of grapes.
12 His eyes are darker than wine,
and his teeth whiter than milk.
