Genesis 49:16-18

16 Dan will be a ruler for his people. His descendants will be equal with the other tribes of Israel. 17 He will be small and dangerous, like a snake that lies beside the road. He will be like a snake that bites the legs of horses so that the riders fall off.

49:17The tribe of Dan was a small tribe, but its people would still be powerful.

18 Lord, I trust you to save me from trouble.

49:18Jacob prays for himself before he continues to speak to his sons.
