10 The [b]Sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until [c]Shiloh come, and the people shall be gathered unto him.

11 He shall bind his Ass foal unto the [d]vine, and his ass’s colt unto the best vine. He shall wash his garment in wine, and his cloak in the blood of grapes.
