6. Let my soul not enter into their council;let my glory not be united with their assembly;for in their anger they killed menand in their self-will they hamstrung oxen.
7. Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce;and their wrath, for it is cruel!I will divide them in Jacoband scatter them in Israel.
8. Judah, your brothers shall praise you;your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;your father’s sons will bow down before you.
9. Judah is a lion’s cub;from the prey, my son, you have goneup.He crouches and lies down like a lion;and as a lion, who dares rouse him?
