Genesis 49:9-11
World English Bible
9 Judah is a lion’s cub.
From the prey, my son, you have gone up.
He stooped down, he crouched as a lion,
as a lioness.
Who will rouse him up?
10 The scepter will not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
until he comes to whom it belongs.
The obedience of the peoples will be to him.
11 Binding his foal to the vine,
his donkey’s colt to the choice vine,
he has washed his garments in wine,
his robes in the blood of grapes.
Genesis 49:9-11
New International Version
9 You are a lion’s(A) cub,(B) Judah;(C)
you return from the prey,(D) my son.
Like a lion he crouches and lies down,
like a lioness—who dares to rouse him?
10 The scepter will not depart from Judah,(E)
nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,[a]
until he to whom it belongs[b] shall come(F)
and the obedience of the nations shall be his.(G)
11 He will tether his donkey(H) to a vine,
his colt to the choicest branch;(I)
he will wash his garments in wine,
his robes in the blood of grapes.(J)
