⁸ Judah! thou -- thy brethren praise thee! Thy hand `is' on the neck of thine enemies, Sons of thy father bow themselves to thee.

⁹ A lion's whelp `is' Judah, For prey, my son, thou hast gone up; He hath bent, he hath crouched as a lion, And as a lioness; who causeth him to arise?

¹⁰ The sceptre turneth not aside from Judah, And a lawgiver from between his feet, Till his Seed come; And his `is' the obedience of peoples.

⁶⁸ And He chooseth the tribe of Judah, With mount Zion that He loved,

⁶⁹ And buildeth His sanctuary as a high place, Like the earth, He founded it to the age.

⁷⁰ And He fixeth on David His servant, And taketh him from the folds of a flock,

³ And those encamping eastward towards the sun-rising, `are of' the standard of the camp of Judah, by their hosts; and the prince of the sons of Judah `is' Nahshon, son of Amminadab;

¹⁴ And the armies in the heaven were following him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen -- white and pure;

¹⁵ and out of his mouth doth proceed a sharp sword, that with it he may smite the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he doth tread the press of the wine of the wrath and the anger of God the Almighty,

¹⁶ and he hath upon the garment and upon his thigh the name written, `King of kings, and Lord of lords.'
