5. "Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords have killed a lot of people.
6. I won't share in their plans. I won't have anything to do with them. They became angry and killed people. They cut the legs of oxen just for the fun of it.
7. May the Lord put a curse on them because of their terrible anger. I will scatter them in Jacob's land. I will spread them around in Israel.
8. "Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your enemies will be brought under your control. Your father's sons will bow down to you.
9. Judah, you are like a lion's cub. You return from hunting, my son. Like a lion, you lie down and sleep. You are like a mother lion. Who dares to wake you up?
