9 Judah is a lion’s whelp;

from the prey, my son, you have gone up.

He stooped down, he couched as a lion,

and as a lioness; who dares rouse him up?

10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah,

nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,

until he comes to whom it belongs;

and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.

11 Binding his foal to the vine

and his ass’s colt to the choice vine,

he washes his garments in wine

and his vesture in the blood of grapes;

12 his eyes shall be red with wine,

and his teeth white with milk.
