Genesis 49:17–19

17 Dan will be a snake by the roadside,

a viper along the path,

that bites the horse’s heels

so that its rider tumbles backward.

18 “I look for your deliverance, Lord.

19 “Gad will be attacked by a band of raiders,

but he will attack them at their heels.

17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way,

An adder in the path,

That biteth the horse heels,

So that his rider shall fall backward.

18 I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord.

19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him:

But he shall overcome at the last.

17 Dan will be a snake beside the road,

a poisonous viper along the path

that bites the horse’s hooves

so its rider is thrown off.

18 I trust in you for salvation, O Lord!

19 “Gad will be attacked by marauding bands,

but he will attack them when they retreat.

17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way,

A viper by the path,

That bites the horse’s heels

So that its rider shall fall backward.

18 I have waited for your salvation, O Lord!

19 “Gad, a troop shall tramp upon him,

But he shall triumph at last.

17 Dan will be like a snake by the side of the road,

a dangerous snake lying near the path.

That snake bites a horse’s leg,

and the rider is thrown off backward.

18 “Lord, I wait for your salvation.

19 “Robbers will attack Gad,

but he will defeat them and drive them away.

17 Dan shall be a serpent in the way,

An adder in the path,

That biteth the horse’s heels,

So that his rider falleth backward.

18 I have waited for thy salvation, O Jehovah.

19 Gad, a troop shall press upon him;

But he shall press upon their heel.

17 Dan will be a serpent on the way, A horned snake on the path, Which biteth the horse’s heels, So that the rider falleth backwards. 18 I wait for thy salvation, O Jehovah. 19 Gad—troops will rush upon him; But he will rush upon the heel.

17 Dan will be a snake on a road, 

a viper on a path, 

that bites a horse’s heels 

so that its rider falls off backwards. 

18 “I wait with hope for you to rescue me, O Lord. 

19 “Gad will be attacked by a band of raiders, 

but he will strike back at their heels. 

17 He will be a snake by the road,

a viper beside the path,

that bites the horses’ heels

so that its rider falls backward.

18 I wait for Your salvation, Lord.

19 Gad will be attacked by raiders,

but he will attack their heels.

17 Dan shall be a snake by the roadside,

a viper along the path,

that bites the horse’s heels

so that its rider falls backward.

18 I wait for your salvation, O Lord.

19 Gad shall be raided by raiders,

but he shall raid at their heels.

17 Dan shall be a serpent on the way,

a viper on the road

that bites the heels of a horse,

so that its rider falls backward.

18 I wait for your salvation, O Yahweh.

19 Bandits shall attack Gad,

but he shall attack their heels.

17 Dan will be a serpent by the side of the road.

He will be a poisonous snake along the path.

It bites the horse’s heels

so that the rider falls off backward.

18 “Lord, I look to you to save me.

19 “Gad will be attacked by a group of robbers.

But he’ll attack them as they run away.

17 “Dan shall be a serpent in the way,

A horned snake in the path,

That bites the horse’s heels,

So that his rider falls backward.

18 “For Your salvation I wait, O Lord.

19 “As for Gad, raiders shall raid him,

But he will raid at their heels.
