Genesis 27:33-37
New International Version
33 Isaac trembled violently and said, “Who was it, then, that hunted game and brought it to me?(A) I ate it just before you came and I blessed him—and indeed he will be blessed!(B)”
34 When Esau heard his father’s words, he burst out with a loud and bitter cry(C) and said to his father, “Bless(D) me—me too, my father!”
35 But he said, “Your brother came deceitfully(E) and took your blessing.”(F)
36 Esau said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob[a]?(G) This is the second time he has taken advantage of(H) me: He took my birthright,(I) and now he’s taken my blessing!”(J) Then he asked, “Haven’t you reserved any blessing for me?”
37 Isaac answered Esau, “I have made him lord over you and have made all his relatives his servants, and I have sustained him with grain and new wine.(K) So what can I possibly do for you, my son?”

34 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
35 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
36 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
