Genesis 49:22-24
EasyEnglish Bible

Joseph

22 Joseph is like a vine that has lots of fruit. It grows near a well and its branches go over a wall.[a]

23 His enemies will be angry with him. They will attack him with arrows. 24 But he will hold his own bow strongly. He will shoot his arrows well. The Mighty One of Jacob will give Joseph strength. God, who is Israel's Shepherd and Rock, will help him.[b]
