Judah is (A)a lion’s whelp;
From the prey, my son, you have gone up.
(B)He [a]bows down, he lies down as a lion;
And as a lion, who shall rouse him?
10 (C)The [b]scepter shall not depart from Judah,
Nor (D)a lawgiver from between his feet,
(E)Until Shiloh comes;
(F)And to Him shall be the obedience of the people.
11 Binding his donkey to the vine,
And his donkey’s colt to the choice vine,
He washed his garments in wine,
And his clothes in the blood of grapes.
