Genesis 49:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Into their secret let not my soul come: my [a]glory be not thou joined with their assembly: for in their wrath they slew a [b]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 [c]divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
8 ¶ Thou Judah, thy brethren shall praise thee: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies: thy father’s son shall [d]bow down before unto thee.
