Genesis 49:8-12 (New International Version)

 8 "Judah, [a] your brothers will praise you;
       your hand will be on the neck of your enemies;
       your father's sons will bow down to you.

 9 You are a lion's cub, O Judah;
       you return from the prey, my son.
       Like a lion he crouches and lies down,
       like a lioness—who dares to rouse him?

 10 The scepter will not depart from Judah,
       nor the ruler's staff from between his feet,
       until he comes to whom it belongs [b]
       and the obedience of the nations is his.

 11 He will tether his donkey to a vine,
       his colt to the choicest branch;
       he will wash his garments in wine,
       his robes in the blood of grapes.

 12 His eyes will be darker than wine,
       his teeth whiter than milk. [c]
