⁹ Judah is a young lion^(A) –
my son, you return from the kill.
He crouches; he lies down like a lion
or a lioness – who dares to rouse him?

²⁴ A people rise up like a lioness;
they rouse themselves like a lion.^(A)
They will not lie down until they devour the prey
and drink the blood of the slain.
