9 "Judah is a lion's whelp ; From the prey , my son , you have gone up. He couches , he lies down as a lion , And as a lion , who dares rouse him up? 10 " The scepter shall not depart from Judah , Nor the ruler's staff from between his feet , Until e Shiloh comes , And to him shall be the obedience of the peoples .
