Genesis 49:5-7

Simeon and Levi are brothers;
their knives are vicious weapons.^(A)

^{Tools

May I never enter their council;
may I never join their assembly.
For in their anger they kill men,
and on a whim they hamstring oxen.

Their anger is cursed, for it is strong,
and their fury, for it is cruel!
I will disperse them throughout Jacob
and scatter them throughout Israel.^(B)
