Genesis 9:24-27
Living Bible
24-25 When Noah awoke from his drunken stupor, and learned what had happened and what Ham, his younger son, had done, he cursed Ham’s descendants:[a]
“A curse upon the Canaanites,” he swore.
“May they be the lowest of slaves
To the descendants of Shem and Japheth.”
26-27 Then he said,
“God bless Shem,
And may Canaan be his slave.[b]
God bless Japheth,
And let him share the prosperity of Shem,
And let Canaan be his slave.”
