Jacob said to SIMEON and Levi, "You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house."

5. "SIMEON and Levi are brothers.Their swords are weapons of violence.

6. My soul, don't come into their council.My glory, don't be united to their assembly;for in their anger they killed men.In their self-will they hamstrung cattle.

7. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce;and their wrath, for it was cruel.I will divide them in Jacob,and scatter them in Israel.
