Genesis 49:3-5

Christian Standard Bible

³ Reuben, you are my firstborn,^(A)
my strength and the firstfruits of my virility,^(B)
excelling in prominence, excelling in power.
⁴ Turbulent as water, you will not excel,
because you got into your father’s bed^(C)
and you defiled it—he^[a] got into my bed.

⁵ Simeon and Levi are brothers;
their knives are vicious weapons.^(D)
