10 Men from Judah’s family will be kings.
    The sign that his family rules
will not leave his family before the real king comes.[a]
    Then many people will obey and serve him.
11 He ties his donkeys to the best grapevines.
    He washes his clothes in the best wine.
12 His eyes are red from drinking wine.
    His teeth are white from drinking milk.[b]
