Compare all
2 “Gather together and hear, you sons of Jacob,
And listen to Israel your father.
3 “Reuben, you are amy firstborn,
My might and the beginning of my strength,
The excellency of dignity and the excellency of power. 
4 Unstable as water, you shall not excel,
Because you awent up to your father’s bed;
Then you defiled it—
He went up to my couch. 
5 “Simeon and Levi are brothers;
Instruments of1 cruelty are in their dwelling place. 
6 aLet not my soul enter their council;
Let not my honor be united bto their assembly;
cFor in their anger they slew a man,
And in their self-will they1 hamstrung an ox.
