## Genesis 49:8,9 in Context (Verses 5–12 KJV)
 
 [5 ](/kjv/genesis/49/5) ¶ Simeon and Levi *are* brethren; instruments of cruelty *are in* their habitations.*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/genesis/49/6) O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/genesis/49/7) Cursed *be* their anger, for *it was* fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/genesis/49/8) ¶ Judah, thou *art he* whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand *shall be* in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/genesis/49/9) Judah *is* a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
 
 [10 ](/kjv/genesis/49/10) The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him *shall* the gathering of the people *be*.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/genesis/49/11) Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
 
 [12 ](/kjv/genesis/49/12) His eyes *shall be* red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
 
[Genesis 48](/kjv/genesis/48) [Genesis 50](/kjv/genesis/50)
