1 And Jacob will call to his sons, and will say, Be ye gathered together, and I will announce to you what shall happen to you in the last part of the days.

2 Be gathered together, and hear ye sons of Jacob, and hear to Israel your father.

3 Reuben, my first-born, thou my strength, and the beginning of my strength, the abundance of elevation, and the abundance of might.

4 Vain glorious as water, thou shalt not be preeminent; for thou didst go up out of thy father's bed; then didst thou defile, going up to my couch.
