Genesis 49:9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹ Judah is like a young lion.
    You have returned from killing, my son.
Like a lion, he stretches out and lies down to rest.
    No one is brave enough to wake him.
¹⁰ Men from Judah’s family will be kings.
    Someone from Judah will always be on the throne.
Judah will rule until the real king comes.
    And the nations will obey him.
¹¹ He ties his donkey to a grapevine.
    He ties his young donkey to the best branch.
He can afford to use wine to wash his clothes.
    He even uses grape juice to wash his robes.
