Genesis 49:2-4

New Living Translation

² “Come and listen, you sons of Jacob;
    listen to Israel, your father.

³ “Reuben, you are my firstborn, my strength,
    the child of my vigorous youth.
    You are first in rank and first in power.
⁴ But you are as unruly as a flood,
    and you will be first no longer.
For you went to bed with my wife;
    you defiled my marriage couch.
