Genesis 49:8-10
Jubilee Bible 2000
8 ¶ Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise; thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s sons shall bow down before thee.
9 Judah is a lion’s whelp; from the prey, my son, thou art gone up; he stooped down, he couched as a lion and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10 The sceptre shall not be taken from Judah, nor the lawgiver from between his feet until Shiloh comes; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.

Genesis 49:8-10
New International Version
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)
