25 he uttered this curse:

Noah: A curse upon your son, Canaan!
        May he become the lowest of servants to his brothers.
26     May the Eternal One, the God of Shem, be blessed,
        and let Canaan be his slave!
27     May God make plenty of room for Japheth’s family
        and give them homes among Shem’s tents.
        And let Canaan be his slave also!
