Genesis 49:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 “Dan shall achieve justice[a] for his people
as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Let Dan be a serpent by the roadside,
a horned viper by the path,
That bites the horse’s heel,
so that the rider tumbles backward.
18 “I long for your deliverance, O Lord![b]
