Genesis 49:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ “Judah, your brothers will praise you.
You hold your enemies by the neck.
Your brothers will bow down before you.
^9 (A)Judah is like a lion,
Killing his victim and returning to his den,
Stretching out and lying down.
No one dares disturb him.
¹⁰ Judah will hold the royal scepter,
And his descendants will always rule.
Nations will bring him tribute^[a]
And bow in obedience before him.
