Genesis 49:17 MSG/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 17 Dan is only a small snake in the grass, a lethal serpent in ambush by the road When he strikes a horse in the heel, and brings its huge rider crashing down. | 17 Dan will be a serpent by the roadside, a viper along the path, that bites the horse's heels so that its rider tumbles backward. |
