24  Behold, a people! ^kAs a lioness it rises up

and as a lion it lifts itself;

^lit does not lie down until it has devoured the prey

and drunk the blood of the slain.”

9  Judah is ^ka lion’s cub;

from the prey, my son, you have gone up.

^lHe stooped down; he crouched as a lion

and as a lioness; who dares rouse him?
