38 Esau said to his father, “Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father.” And (A)Esau lifted up his voice and wept.

39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:

“Behold, (B)away from[a] the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling be,
    and away from[b] the dew of heaven on high.
40 By your sword you shall live,
    and you (C)shall serve your brother;
but when you grow restless
    (D)you shall break his yoke from your neck.”
