⁸ “Judah, ^(A)your brothers shall praise you;
    ^(B)your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;
    ^(C)your father's sons shall bow down before you.
⁹ Judah is ^(D)a lion's cub;
    from the prey, my son, you have gone up.
^(E)He stooped down; he crouched as a lion
    and as a lioness; who dares rouse him?
¹⁰ The ^(F)scepter shall not depart from Judah,
    nor the ruler's staff ^(G)from between his feet,
until tribute comes to him;^[a]
    and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.
¹¹ Binding his foal to the vine
    and his donkey's colt to the choice vine,
he has washed his garments in wine
    and his vesture in the blood of grapes.
¹² His ^(H)eyes are darker than wine,
    and his teeth whiter than milk.
