Genesis 49:8-10
New American Standard Bible
8 “As for you, Judah, your brothers shall praise you;
Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;
(A)Your father’s sons shall bow down to you.
9 Judah is a (B)lion’s cub;
From the prey, my son, you have gone up.
(C)He [a]crouches, he lies down as a lion,
And as a [b]lion, who [c]dares to stir him up?
10 (D)The scepter will not depart from Judah,
Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
[d]Until Shiloh comes,
And (E)to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.

8 “Judah,[a](A) your brothers will praise you;
your hand will be on the neck(B) of your enemies;
your father’s sons will bow down to you.(C)
9 You are a lion’s(D) cub,(E) Judah;(F)
you return from the prey,(G) 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,(H)
nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,[b]
until he to whom it belongs[c] shall come(I)
and the obedience of the nations shall be his.(J)
