Genesis 49:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ Simeon and Levi,
you are brothers,
    each a gruesome sword.
⁶ I never want to take part
    in your plans or deeds.
You slaughtered people
    in your anger,
and you crippled cattle
    for no reason.
⁷ Now I place a curse on you
because of
    your fierce anger.
Your descendants
will be scattered
    among the tribes of Israel.
