²⁹ Let peoples serve you,
    and nations ^(A)bow down to you.
^(B)Be lord over your brothers,
    and may your mother's sons bow down to you.
^(C)Cursed be everyone who curses you,
    and blessed be everyone who blesses you!”

⁴⁰ By your sword you shall live,
    and you ^(A)shall serve your brother;
but when you grow restless
    ^(B)you shall break his yoke from your neck.”
