Genesis 49:6-8
International Standard Version
6 I’ll[a] never join their council;
I’ll never enter their assembly.
In their anger they committed murder
and lamed cattle just for fun.
7 Their anger is cursed,
because it is so fierce,
as is their vehemence,
because it is so cruel.
I will separate them throughout Jacob’s territory[b]
and disperse them throughout Israel.”
On the Future of Judah
8 “Your brothers will praise you, Judah.[c]
Your hand will be at the throat of your enemies,
and your father’s children will bow down to you.
