01:049:006 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their
assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger
they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a
wall.
01:049:007 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for
it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in
Israel.
01:049:008 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand
shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children
shall bow down before thee.
01:049:009 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone
up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion;
who shall rouse him up?
01:049:010 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from
between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the
gathering of the people be.
01:049:011 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the
choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes
in the blood of grapes:
01:049:012 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with
milk.
01:049:013 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be
for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
01:049:014 Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
01:049:015 And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was
pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant
unto tribute.
01:049:016 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
01:049:017 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that
biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
01:049:018 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
01:049:019 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the
last.
01:049:020 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal
dainties.
01:049:021 Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
01:049:022 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well;
whose branches run over the wall:
01:049:023 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and
hated him:
01:049:024 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were
made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from
thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
01:049:025 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the
Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above,
blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the
breasts, and of the womb:
