Genesis 49:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ Judah is like a young lion.
    My son, you are like a lion standing over the animal it killed.
Like a lion, Judah lies down to rest,
    and no one is brave enough to disturb him.
¹⁰ Men from Judah’s family will be kings.
    The sign that his family rules
will not leave his family before the real king comes.^[a]
    Then many people will obey and serve him.
¹¹ He ties his donkeys to the best grapevines.
    He washes his clothes in the best wine.
