Genesis 27:37-40

37But Isaac replied to Esau, “Behold, I have made him 1your master, and all his 2relatives I have given to him 3as servants; and with grain and new wine I have sustained him. Now as for you then, what can I do, my son?” 38Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father.” So Esau lifted his voice and 4wept.

39Then 5Isaac his father answered and said to him, “Behold, 67away from the 8fertility of the earth shall be your dwelling, And 9away from the dew of heaven from above.40By your sword you shall live, And your brother 10you shall serve; But it shall come about 11when you become restless, That you will 12break his yoke from your neck.”
