5. Simeon and Levi are brothers,weapons of violence are their knives!
6. O my soul, do not come into their council,do not be united to their assembly, my heart,for in their anger they have killed men,and for pleasure they have hamstrung oxen.
7. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce,and their fury, for it was cruel.I will divide them in Jacob,and scatter them in Israel!
8. Judah, your brothers will praise you.Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies,your father’s sons will bow down before you.
9. You are a lion’s cub, Judah,from the prey, my son, you have gone up.He crouches and lies down like a lion;like a lioness – who will rouse him?
10. The scepter will not depart from Judah,nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,until he comes to whom it belongs;the nations will obey him.
