{47:21} But you bent your thigh to women, and you were held by the power of your body.
{47:22} You brought a stain upon your glory, and you profaned your seed, so as to bring wrath upon your children, and to incite your foolishness,
{47:23} so that you would cause the kingdom to be divided, and an obstinate kingdom to rule from Ephraim.
{47:24} But God will not abandon his mercy, nor will he corrupt or abolish his own works. And he will not perish the stock of the descendants of his elect. And he will not destroy the offspring of him who loves the Lord.
{47:25} Therefore, he left behind a remnant for Jacob and for David, from the same stock.
