Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce; / And their wrath, for it is cruel: / I will divide them in Jacob, / And scatter them in Israel.

Judah, your brothers will praise you; / Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; / Your father's sons will bow down before you.

Judah is a young lion; / From the prey, my son, you have gone up. / He couches, he stretches out like a lion, / And like a lioness; who will rouse him up?

The scepter will not depart from Judah, / Nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, / Until Shiloh comes, / And to Him shall be the obedience of the peoples.

Binding his foal to the vine, / And his donkey's colt to the choice vine, / He washes his garment in wine, / And his robe in the blood of grapes.

Dark are his eyes with wine, / And white are his teeth with milk.

Zebulun will dwell at the shore of the sea, / And he will be a shore for ships, / And his flank will be toward Sidon.

Issachar is a strong donkey, / Couching between the sheepfolds.

And he saw a resting place that was good / And the land that was pleasant, / And he bowed his shoulder to bear, / And became a task-worker to bring tribute.

Dan will judge his people, / As one of the tribes of Israel.

Dan will be a serpent in the way, / A viper on the path, / That bites the horse's heels, / So that his rider falls backward.

I have waited for Your salvation, O Jehovah.

Gad, raiders will raid him, / But he will raid at their heel.

Asher's food will be rich, / And he will yield royal dainties.

Naphtali is a hind let loose; / He gives beautiful words.

Joseph is a fruitful bough, / A fruitful bough by a fountain; / His branches run over the wall.

The archers bitterly attacked him, / And shot at him and harassed him;

But his bow remained firm, / And the arms of his hands were agile, / By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob — / From there is the Shepherd, the stone of Israel —

From the God of your father, who will help you, / And from the All-sufficient One, who will bless you / With blessings of heaven above, / Blessings of the deep that lies beneath, / Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.

The blessings of your father surpass / The blessings of my ancestors / To the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. / They will be on the head of Joseph, / And on the crown of the head of the one who was separate from his brothers.
