Genesis 49:8-12
New American Standard Bible 1995
8 “Judah, your brothers shall praise you;
Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;
(A)Your father’s sons shall bow down to you.
9 “Judah is a (B)lion’s whelp;
From the prey, my son, you have gone up.
(C)He [a]couches, he lies down as a lion,
And as a [b]lion, who [c]dares rouse him up?
10 “(D)The scepter shall not depart from Judah,
Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
[d]Until Shiloh comes,
And (E)to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.
11 “[e](F)He ties his foal to the vine,
And his donkey’s colt to the choice vine;
(G)He washes his garments in wine,
And his robes in the blood of grapes.
12 “His eyes are [f]dull from wine,
And his teeth [g]white from milk.
