And thy servant my father said to us, Ye know that my wife bore me two sons.

Judah is a lion's whelp. From the prey, my son, thou have gone up. He stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as a lioness, who shall rouse him up?

Why did I not die from the womb? Why did I not give up the spirit when my mother bore me?

I was cast upon thee from the womb. Thou are my God since my mother bore me.

For I will pour water upon him who is thirsty, and streams upon the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring.

Woe is me, my mother, that thou have bore me, a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, nor have men lent to me, [yet] every one of them curses me.

Cursed be the day in which I was born. Let not the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.

And I will pour my wrath upon Sin, the stronghold of Egypt, and I will cut off the multitude of No.

But the Lord said to him, Go, because this man is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before Gentiles and kings, and sons of Israel.
