Genesis 49:9

¹⁴For I will be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.

⁵“‘Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her cubs, and made him a young lion.

²⁴Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father, when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
