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.

“Simeon and Levi are two of a kind;
    their weapons are instruments of violence.
May I never join in their meetings;
    may I never be a party to their plans.
For in their anger they murdered men,
    and they crippled oxen just for sport.
A curse on their anger, for it is fierce;
    a curse on their wrath, for it is cruel.
I will scatter them among the descendants of Jacob;
    I will disperse them throughout Israel.

Turbulent as the waters,(A) you will no longer excel,
    for you went up onto your father’s bed,
    onto my couch and defiled it.(B)

“Simeon(C) and Levi(D) are brothers—
    their swords[a] are weapons of violence.(E)
Let me not enter their council,
    let me not join their assembly,(F)
for they have killed men in their anger(G)
    and hamstrung(H) oxen as they pleased.
Cursed be their anger, so fierce,
    and their fury,(I) so cruel!(J)
I will scatter them in Jacob
    and disperse them in Israel.(K)

  1. Genesis 49:5 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain.

Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.

Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.

O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.

Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
