2 Esdras 6:8-10
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
8 He said to me, ‘From Abraham to Isaac,[a] because from him were born Jacob and Esau, for Jacob’s hand held Esau’s heel from the beginning. 9 Now Esau is the end of this age, and Jacob is the beginning of the age that follows. 10 The beginning of a person is the hand, and the end of a person is the heel;[b] seek for nothing else, Ezra, between the heel and the hand, Ezra!’
