Genesis 27:34-40 NCV

When Esau heard the words of his father, he let out a loud and bitter cry. He said to his father, “Bless me—me, too, my father!” But Isaac said, “Your brother came and tricked me. He has taken your blessing.” Esau said, “Jacob is the right name for him. He has tricked me these two times. He took away my share of everything you own, and now he has taken away my blessing.” Then Esau asked, “Haven’t you saved a blessing for me?” Isaac answered, “I gave Jacob the power to be master over you, and all his brothers will be his servants. And I kept him strong with grain and new wine. There is nothing left to give you, my son.” But Esau continued, “Do you have only one blessing, Father? Bless me, too, Father!” Then Esau began to cry out loud. Isaac said to him, “You will live far away from the best land, far from the rain. You will live by using your sword, and you will be a slave to your brother. But when you struggle, you will break free from him.”
