And their wrath, for it is cruel!
aI will divide them in Jacob
And scatter them in Israel.
bYour hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;
cYour father’s children shall bow down before you.
From the prey, my son, you have gone up.
bHe bows down, he lies down as a lion;
And as a lion, who shall rouse him?
Nor ba lawgiver from between his feet,
cUntil Shiloh comes;
dAnd to Him shall be the obedience of the people.
And his donkey’s colt to the choice vine,
He washed his garments in wine,
And his clothes in the blood of grapes.
