Genesis 49:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁸ “Judah, your brothers will praise you.
    Your enemies will be brought under your control.
    Your father’s sons will bow down to you.
⁹ Judah, you are like a lion’s cub.
    You return from hunting, my son.
Like a lion, you lie down and sleep.
    You are like a mother lion. Who dares to wake you up?
