Genesis 27:38-40

International Standard Version

³⁸Then Esau implored his father, “Don’t you have even one blessing for me, my father? Bless me, even me too, my father!” Then Esau lifted his voice and wept bitterly.

³⁹At this, his father Isaac replied to him,

“Look! Away from the fertile land will be your dwellings;
    away from the dew of the skies above.
⁴⁰By your sword you’ll live;
    but you’ll serve your brother.
But when you’ve become restless,
    you’ll break off his yoke from your neck.”
