But you boil over like water, so you won't be above anyone anymore, because you went and slept with my concubine; you violated my marriage bed.

I refuse to be part of their decisions; I refuse to participate in what they do. For they killed men in their anger; they crippled cattle just for fun.

My son Judah is a young lion coming back from eating its prey. He crouches and lies down like a lion. Like a lion, who would dare to disturb him?

Judah will always hold the scepter, and the staff of authority will always be at his feet until Shiloh comes; the nations will obey him.
