Genesis 49:8-12

8Judah, your brothers will praise you. You will win against your enemies. Your father's sons will bend down towards the ground in front of you.

9Judah is like a young lion who has eaten good food. He has eaten what he killed and now he rests. Nobody would want to try and wake him up!

10Judah's descendants will always rule as king. They will continue to hold the stick and the sceptre that show the king's authority. They will do that until the man comes who truly has that authority. People from all nations will obey that king.

11Judah will tie his young donkey to a vine. It will be a vine that has the best grapes. He will wash his clothes in the red wine that is made from those grapes.

12His eyes will become red because he drinks so much wine. His teeth will become white because he drinks so much milk.
