Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce;
And their wrath, for it is cruel.
(A)I will scatter them in Jacob,
And disperse them among Israel.

“As for you, Judah, your brothers shall praise you;
Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;
(B)Your father’s sons shall bow down to you.
Judah is a (C)lion’s cub;
From the prey, my son, you have gone up.
(D)He [a]crouches, he lies down as a lion,
And as a [b]lion, who [c]dares to stir him up?
