Your servant, my father, said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons:

Judah is a lion's cub. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up?

"Why didn't I die from the womb? Why didn't I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?

I was thrown on you from my mother's womb. You are my God since my mother bore me.

For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and streams on the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit on your seed, and my blessing on your offspring:

Cursed is the day in which I was born: don't let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.

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

But the Lord said to him, "Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
