Lion of the tribe of Juda

Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
 9  Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
 10  The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
 11  Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
 12  His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
~Genesis 49:8-12

For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.

 15  I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early. 
 1  Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
 2  After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
~Hosea 5:14-6:2

For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

~Hebrews 7:14

And one of the elders saith unto me,

Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda,
the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
~Revelation 5:5
