37 Isaac answered, “I have already made him master over you, and I have made all his relatives his slaves. I have given him grain and wine. Now there is nothing that I can do for you, son!”
38 (A)Esau continued to plead with his father: “Do you have only one blessing, father? Bless me too, father!” He began to cry.
39 (B)Then Isaac said to him,
“No dew from heaven for you,
No fertile fields for you.

English Standard Version
37 Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Behold, (A)I have made him lord over you, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants, and (B)with grain and wine I have sustained him. What then can I do for you, my son?” 38 Esau said to his father, “Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father.” And (C)Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:
“Behold, (D)away from[a] the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling be,
and away from[b] the dew of heaven on high.
