Cursed be every one who curses you,

And he said to his father, “Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s game, that you may bless me.”

29 May nations serve you
and peoples bow down to you.(A)
Be lord over your brothers,
and may the sons of your mother bow down to you.(B)

Then he said to him, “My father, please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may give me your blessing.”(D)
