Genesis 49:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 ¶ Simeon and Levi, brethren in evil, [a]the instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
6 Into their secret let not my soul come: my [b]glory be not thou joined with their assembly: for in their wrath they slew a [c]man, and in their self-will they dug down a wall.
7 Cursed be their wrath, for it was fierce, and their rage, for it was cruel: I will [d]divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
