Judah is a lion's whelp; From the prey, my son, thou art gone up; He stooped down, he couched as a lion, And as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh come; And unto him shall the gathering of the people be. GENESIS xlix. 9, 10. God brought him forth out of Egypt; He hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: And shall break their bones, And pierce them through with his arrows. And as a great lion: who shall stir him up? And cursed is he that curseth thee. NUMBERS Xxiv. 8, 9. |
