Genesis 49:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶I will not join in their secret talks,
Nor will I take part in their meetings,
For they killed people in anger
And they crippled bulls for sport.
⁷A curse be on their anger, because it is so fierce,
And on their fury, because it is so cruel.
I will scatter them throughout the land of Israel.
I will disperse them among its people.

⁸“Judah, your brothers will praise you.
You hold your enemies by the neck.
Your brothers will bow down before you.
