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)
11 He will tether his donkey^(K) to a vine,
    his colt to the choicest branch;^(L)
he will wash his garments in wine,
    his robes in the blood of grapes.^(M)
12 His eyes will be darker than wine,
    his teeth whiter than milk.^[d](N)

⁹ Therefore God exalted him^(A) to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,^(B)
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,^(C)
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,^(D)
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,^(E)
    to the glory of God the Father.

“The kingdom of the world has become
    the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,^(C)
    and he will reign for ever and ever.”^(D)
