God’s Word Translation
Genesis 49:3-7
3“Reuben, you are my firstborn, my strength, the very first son I had, first in majesty and first in power.
4You will no longer be first because you were out of control like a flood and you climbed into your father’s bed. Then you dishonored it. He climbed up on my couch.
5“Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence.
6Do not let me attend their secret meetings. Do not let me join their assembly. In their anger they murdered men. At their whim they crippled cattle.
7May their anger be cursed because it’s so fierce. May their fury be cursed because it’s so cruel. I will divide them among ⌞the sons of⌟ Jacob and scatter them among ⌞the tribes of⌟ Israel.
