Genesis 49:22-24

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²² Joseph is a fruitful bough,
    a fruitful bough by a spring;
    his branches run over the wall.^[a]
23 The archers fiercely attacked him;
    they shot at him and pressed him hard.
²⁴ Yet his bow remained taut,
    and his arms^[b] were made agile
by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob,
    by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
