⁹ Judah is a ^(A)lion’s whelp;
From the prey, my son, you have gone up.
^(B)He ^[a]crouches, he lies down as a lion,
And as a lioness, who ^[b]dares rouse him up?

¹¹ Where is the den of the lions
And the feeding place of the ^(A)young lions,
Where the lion, lioness, and lion’s cub prowled,
With nothing to make them tremble?
¹² The lion tore enough for its cubs
And strangled enough for its lionesses
And filled its lairs with torn up prey
And its dens with torn up flesh.
