Judah is like a young lion.
    My son, you are like a lion standing over the animal it killed.
Like a lion, Judah lies down to rest,
    and no one is brave enough to disturb him.
10 Men from Judah’s family will be kings.
    The sign that his family rules
will not leave his family before the real king comes.[a]
    Then many people will obey and serve him.
11 He ties his donkeys to the best grapevines.
    He washes his clothes in the best wine.
