Genesis 49:4-7
New Living Translation
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.
5 “Simeon and Levi are two of a kind;
their weapons are instruments of violence.
6 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.
7 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.
Genesis 49:4-7
New International Version
4 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)
5 “Simeon(C) and Levi(D) are brothers—
their swords[a] are weapons of violence.(E)
6 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.
7 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)

Genesis 49:4-7
King James Version
4 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.
5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
6 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.
7 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.
