³⁸ Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father." Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.

¹⁷ For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.

³⁴ When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, my father."

³⁶ He said, "Isn't he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing." He said, "Haven't you reserved a blessing for me?"

²⁸ All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them and blessed them. He blessed everyone according to his blessing.

²⁴ Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;

²⁵ But you have ignored all my counsel, And wanted none of my reproof;

²⁶ I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you;

¹⁰ For days beyond a year shall you be troubled, you careless women; for the vintage shall fail, the harvest shall not come.

¹¹ Tremble, you women who are at ease; be troubled, you careless ones; strip yourselves, and make yourselves naked, and gird [sackcloth] on your loins.

¹² They shall strike on the breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

¹⁴ behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit.
