Genesis 49:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴ But your passion was like a flood you couldn’t control.
    So you will not remain my most honored son.
You climbed into your father’s bed
    and slept with one of his wives.
You brought shame to my bed,
    to the bed you lay on.

⁵ “Simeon and Levi are brothers.
    They are violent with their swords.
⁶ I will not join their secret meetings.
    I will not take part in their evil plans.
They have killed people out of anger
    and crippled animals for fun.
