Judah, your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; your father’s sons will bow down to you.
In context
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. 7Cursed be their anger, so fierce, and their fury, so cruel! I will scatter them in Jacob and disperse them in Israel. 8Judah, your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; your father’s sons will bow down to you. 9Judah is a lion’s cub — you return, my son, from the kill. Like a lion he crouches and lies down, like a lioness — who dares rouse him? 10The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and the obedience of the nations is his.
