In context

1Then Jacob called for his sons and said, “Gather around so that I can tell you what will happen to you in the days to come:

2Come together and listen, O sons of Jacob; listen to your father Israel.

3Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in honor, excelling in power.

4Uncontrolled as the waters, you will no longer excel, because you went up to your father’s bed, onto my couch, and defiled it.

5Simeon and Levi are brothers; their swords are weapons of violence.
