Genesis 49:22-24
Good News Translation
22 “Joseph is like a wild donkey by a spring,
A wild colt on a hillside.[a]
23 His enemies attack him fiercely
And pursue him with their bows and arrows.
24 But his bow remains steady,
And his arms are made strong[b]
By the power of the Mighty God of Jacob,
By the Shepherd, the Protector of Israel.
