Let not my person[a] be joined to their company.
    For in their anger they killed men,
    and at their pleasure they hamstrung cattle.
Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce,
    and their wrath, for it is cruel.
I will divide them in Jacob,
    and I will scatter them in Israel.
Judah, as for you, your brothers shall praise you.
    Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies.
    The sons of your father shall bow down to you.
