Genesis 49:7-9
New International Version

7 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)

8 “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)
9 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?

Genesis 49:7-9
King James Version

7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.

9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
