Genesis 49:6-8
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

6 O my soul, come not into their council;
    O my spirit,[a] be not joined to their company;
for in their anger they slay men,
    and in their wantonness they hamstring oxen.
7 Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce;
    and their wrath, for it is cruel!
I will divide them in Jacob
    and scatter them in Israel.

8 Judah, your brothers shall praise you;
    your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;
    your father’s sons shall bow down before you.
