Genesis 27:38-40

New Catholic Bible

³⁸Esau told his father, “Do you only have one blessing, my father? Bless me too, my father!” But Isaac was silent, and Esau cried out aloud.

³⁹Finally Isaac spoke and said,

“Behold, far from the riches of the earth
    shall your dwelling be
    and far from the dew of the heavens.
⁴⁰You shall live by the sword
    and serve your brother.
But then, when you have dominion,
    you shall break the yoke from your neck.”
