49:5 Simeon and Levi are brothers,

weapons of violence are their knives! ¹ 

49:6 O my soul, do not come into their council,

do not be united to their assembly, my heart, ² 

for in their anger they have killed men,

and for pleasure they have hamstrung oxen.

49:7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce,

and their fury, for it was cruel.

I will divide them in Jacob,

and scatter them in Israel! ³
