1雅各 叫了他的兒子們來，說：「你們都來聚集，我好把你們日後必遇的事告訴你們。
2Gather yourselves together, and hear, O ye sons of Jacob, hearken to Israel your father:
2雅各 的兒子們，你們要聚集而聽， 要聽你們父親 以色列 的話。

7Cursed be their fury, because it was stubborn: and their wrath because it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and will scatter them in Israel.
7他們的怒氣暴烈可咒； 他們的忿恨殘忍可詛。 我要使他們分居在 雅各 家裏 ， 散住在 以色列 地中 。
