* Gather yourselves together , and hear , ye sons of Jacob ; and hearken unto Israel your father . * Reuben , thou art my firstborn , my might , and the beginning of my strength , the excellency of dignity , and the excellency of power : * Unstable as water , thou shalt not excel ; because thou wentest up to thy father 's bed ; then defiledst thou it : he went up to my couch . * Simeon and Levi are brethren ; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations .
