Genesis 49:8-9

Then Jacob said, “Judah, your tribe will fight against their enemies, and your tribe will win. Then the tribes of all your brothers, they will say that your tribe is really great, and they will bend down in front of your tribe, to show them respect.” Jacob also said, “My son Judah is like a strong young lion, like a lion that fought another animal and won, like a lion that killed an animal and ate it. He is like a lion that lies down to sleep, and nobody is brave enough to wake it up.
