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. Judah is a lion’s cub.From the prey, my son, you have gone up.He stooped down, he crouched as a lion,as a lioness.Who will rouse him up?
10. The sceptre will not depart from Judah,nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,until he comes to whom it belongs.To him will the obedience of the peoples be.
