Genesis 27:39-41
Christian Standard Bible
39 His father Isaac answered him,
Look, your dwelling place will be
away from the richness of the land,
away from the dew of the sky above.
40 You will live by your sword,
and you will serve your brother.
But when you rebel,[a]
you will break his yoke from your neck.
