Turbulent as water, you will no longer excel, for you climbed into your father’s bed and defiled it — you climbed onto my couch.
In context
2Assemble and listen, sons of Jacob; listen to Israel, your father. 3Reuben, you are my firstborn, my strength, the first sign of my manhood — excelling in honor, excelling in power. 4Turbulent as water, you will no longer excel, for you climbed into your father’s bed and defiled it — you climbed onto my couch. 5Simeon and Levi are brothers — their swords are weapons of violence. 6Let my soul not enter their council, let my glory not join their assembly, for in their anger they killed men, and at their whim they hamstrung oxen.
