Genesis 27:34-41

When Esau heard his father’s words, he burst into bitter weeping and uncontrollable sobbing. He said to his father, “Bless me! Bless me too, father!” Isaac answered, “Your brother was here and deceived me. He has taken away your blessing.” Esau exclaimed, “Jacob, that heel grabber—the name fits him perfectly! Now he has tricked me twice! He stole my birthright, and now he’s robbed me of my blessing!” Then he asked, “Father, haven’t you reserved a blessing for me?” Isaac replied, “You don’t understand. My blessing will empower him to be master over you. I have already given him all his brothers and relatives as servants. My blessing will richly provide him with grain and new wine. What more is left for me to do for you, my son?” Esau pleaded with his father, “Is that the only blessing you have to give? Bless me too, my father!” Esau could not hold back his tears and he wept loudly. Then Isaac his father spoke these words: “You will live far from earth’s bounty and far from heaven’s dew on high. You will live by the sword and serve your brother; but when you grow restless, you will break free from his control.” Esau hated Jacob because he stole his blessing. He said to himself, “In a short time my father will be gone. After the time for mourning his death has passed, I will kill my brother Jacob!”
