Genesis 27:38-40
English Standard Version
38 Esau said to his father, “Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father.” And (A)Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:
“Behold, (B)away from[a] the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling be,
and away from[b] the dew of heaven on high.
40 By your sword you shall live,
and you (C)shall serve your brother;
but when you grow restless
(D)you shall break his yoke from your neck.”
