5 “aSimeon and Levi are brothers;
Their swords are implements of violence.
6 aLet my soul not enter into their council;
Let not my glory be united with their assembly;
Because in their anger they killed men,
And in their self‑will they hamstrung oxen.
7 Cursed be their anger, for it is strong;
And their wrath, for it is cruel.
aI will divide them amongst Jacob,
And scatter them in Israel.
