⁹ Judah is a lion’s cub;
        from the prey, my son, you rise up.
He lies down and crouches like a lion;
        like a lioness—who dares disturb him?
¹⁰ The scepter won’t depart from Judah,
        nor the ruler’s staff from among his banners.^[a]
Gifts will be brought to him;
        people will obey him.
¹¹ He ties his male donkey to the vine,
        the colt of his female donkey to the vine’s branches.
He washes his clothes in wine,
        his garments in the blood of grapes.
