Genesis 49:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 Unstable as water, you shall no longer excel
because you went up onto your father’s bed;
then you defiled it—you[a] went up onto my couch!(A)
5 Simeon and Levi are brothers;
weapons of violence are their swords.(B)
6 May I never come into their council;
may I not be joined to their company,
for in their anger they killed men,
and at their whim they hamstrung oxen.(C)
