Genesis 49:22-25
New American Standard Bible
22 “(A)Joseph is a fruitful [a]branch,
A fruitful [b]branch by a spring;
Its [c]branches hang over a wall.
23 The archers provoked him,
And shot at him and were hostile toward him;
24 But his (B)bow remained [d]firm,
And [e](C)his arms were agile,
From the hands of the (D)Mighty One of Jacob
(From there is (E)the Shepherd, (F)the Stone of Israel),
25 From (G)the God of your father who helps you,
And [f](H)by the [g]Almighty who blesses you
With (I)blessings of heaven above,
Blessings of the deep that lies beneath,
Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
