Genesis 49:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ Judah, you are the one your brothers will honor;
        your hand will be on the neck of your enemies;
        your father’s sons will bow down to you.
⁹ Judah is a lion’s cub;
        from the prey, my son, you rise up.
He lies down and crouches like a lion;
        like a lioness—who dares disturb him?
¹⁰ The scepter won’t depart from Judah,
        nor the ruler’s staff from among his banners.^[a]
Gifts will be brought to him;
        people will obey him.
