6. Let not my soul go by their counsel, nor my glory be within their meeting. For in their fury they killed a man, and in their self-will they undermined a wall.
7. Cursed be their fury, because it was obstinate, and their indignation, because it was harsh. I will divide them in Jacob, and I will scatter them in Israel.
8. Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be at the necks of your enemies; the sons of your father will reverence you.
9. Judah is a lion's young. You have gone up to the prey, my son. While resting, you have lain like a lion. And just like a lioness, who would rouse him?
10. The scepter from Judah and the leader from his thigh will not be taken away, until he who will be sent arrives, and he will be the expectation of Gentiles.
11. Tying his young colt to the vineyard, and his donkey, O my son, to the vine, he will wash his robe in wine, and his cloak in the blood of the grape.
12. His eyes are more beautiful than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
13. Zebulun will live at the seashore and by the outpost of ships, reaching as far as Sidon.
14. Issachar will be a strong donkey, reclining between the borders.
15. He saw that rest would be good, and that the land was excellent. And so he bent his shoulder to carry, and he became a servant under tribute.
16. Dan will judge his people just like any other tribe in Israel.
17. Let Dan be a snake in the way, a viper in the path, biting the hooves of horses, so that his rider may fall backward.
18. I will wait for your salvation, O Lord.
