Genesis 49:8-12

International Standard Version

⁸ “Your brothers will praise you, Judah.^[a]
    Your hand will be at the throat of your enemies,
and your father’s children will bow down to you.
⁹ Judah is a lion cub.
    My son, you have gone up from the prey.
Crouching like a lion,
    he lies down,
Like a lioness,
    who would dare rouse him?
¹⁰ The scepter will not depart from Judah,
    nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
until the one^[b] comes, who owns them both,^[c]
    and to him will belong the allegiance^[d] of nations.
¹¹ Binding his donkey to the vine
    and his mare’s foal to its thick tendrils,
he will wash his garments in wine
    and his robe in the juice of grapes.
¹² His eyes are darker than wine
    and his teeth whiter than milk.”
