2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob: and hearken to Israel your father.
3 Reuben, thou [art] my first-born, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellence of dignity, and the excellence of power:
4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou [it]; he went up to my couch.
5 Simeon and Levi [are] brethren: instruments of cruelty [are in], their habitations.
6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; to their assembly, my honor, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they digged down a wall.
