Genesis 49:4-6
American Standard Version
4 Boiling over as water, [a]thou shalt not have the pre-eminence;
Because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed;
Then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.
5 Simeon and Levi are brethren;
Weapons of violence are their [b]swords.
6 O my soul, come not thou into their [c]council;
Unto their assembly, my glory, be not thou united;
For in their anger they slew [d]a man,
And in their self-will they hocked [e]an ox.
