SEV Biblia, Chapter 49:9

Cachorro de león Judá: de la presa subiste, hijo mío; se encorvó, se echó como león, Así como león viejo , ¿quién lo despertará?

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 8-12 - Judah's name signifies praise. God was praised for him, chap. 29:35 praised by him, and praised in him; therefore his brethren shall prais him. Judah should be a strong and courageous tribe. Judah is compared not to a lion raging and ranging, but to a lion enjoying the satisfaction of his power and success, without creating vexation to others; this is to be truly great. Judah should be the royal tribe, the tribe from which Messiah the Prince should come. Shiloh, that promise Seed in whom the earth should be blessed, "that peaceable an prosperous One," or "Saviour," he shall come of Judah. Thus dying Jaco at a great distance saw Christ's day, and it was his comfort an support on his death-bed. Till Christ's coming, Judah possesse authority, but after his crucifixion this was shortened, and accordin to what Christ foretold, Jerusalem was destroyed, and all the poor harassed remnant of Jews were confounded together. Much which is her said concerning Judah, is to be applied to our Lord Jesus. In him ther is plenty of all which is nourishing and refreshing to the soul, an which maintains and cheers the Divine life in it. He is the true Vine wine is the appointed symbol of his blood, which is drink indeed, a shed for sinners, and applied in faith; and all the blessings of his gospel are wine and milk, without money and without price, to whic every thirsty soul is welcome. Isa 55:1.
