Genesis 27:37-40
New American Standard Bible 1995
37 But Isaac replied to Esau, “Behold, I have made him (A)your master, and all his [a]relatives I have given to him [b]as servants; and with grain and new wine I have sustained him. Now as for you then, what can I do, my son?” 38 Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father.” So Esau lifted his voice and (B)wept.
39 Then (C)Isaac his father answered and said to him,
“Behold, [c](D)away from the [d]fertility of the earth shall be your dwelling,
And [e]away from the dew of heaven from above.
40 “By your sword you shall live,
And your brother (E)you shall serve;
But it shall come about (F)when you become restless,
That you will [f]break his yoke from your neck.”
