Genesis 9:23-27
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 9

23But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it on both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned away, so that they did not see their father’s nakedness. 24When Noah awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to him.
25So he said, 'Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brothers.' 26He also said, 'Blessed be the Lord, The God of Shem; And may Canaan be his servant. 27May God enlarge Japheth, And may he live in the tents of Shem; And may Canaan be his servant.'
King James Version

24And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. 25And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 26And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 27God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

25he said: Canaan is cursed. He will be the lowest of slaves to his brothers.
