New King James Version
5 “Simeon and Levi are brothers;
Instruments of [a]cruelty are in their dwelling place.
6 (A)Let not my soul enter their council;
Let not my honor be united (B)to their assembly;
(C)For in their anger they slew a man,
And in their self-will they [b]hamstrung an ox.

And their wrath, for it is cruel!
(D)I will divide them in Jacob
And scatter them in Israel.
