Genesis 49:22-24

New International Reader's Version

²² “Joseph is a vine that grows a lot of fruit.
    It grows close by a spring.
    Its branches climb over a wall.
²³ Mean people shot arrows at him.
    They shot at him because they were angry.
²⁴ But his bow remained steady.
    His strong arms moved freely.
The hand of the Mighty God of Jacob was with him.
    The Shepherd, the Rock of Israel, stood by him.
