Genesis 49:6-8
New Life Version

6 May my soul not have a part in their secrets, nor my shining-greatness be joined to them. Because in their anger they killed men and for no reason they hurt cattle. 7 Their anger will be punished, for it is bad. Their bad temper will be punished, for it is bad. I will divide them in Jacob and spread them apart in Israel.

8 “Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of those who hate you. Your father’s sons will bow down to you.
