10 The scepter shall not leave Judah; he'll keep a firm grip on the command staff Until the ultimate ruler comes and the nations obey him. 11 He'll tie up his donkey to the grapevine, his purebred prize to a sturdy branch. He will wash his shirt in wine and his cloak in the blood of grapes, 12 His eyes will be darker than wine, his teeth whiter than milk.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Genesis 49:10-12
