Cursed be their anger, so fierce,
    and their fury,(A) so cruel!(B)
I will scatter them in Jacob
    and disperse them in Israel.(C)

“Judah,[a](D) your brothers will praise you;
    your hand will be on the neck(E) of your enemies;
    your father’s sons will bow down to you.(F)
You are a lion’s(G) cub,(H) Judah;(I)
    you return from the prey,(J) my son.
Like a lion he crouches and lies down,
    like a lioness—who dares to rouse him?
