And when Isaac perceived his mistake, he was silent: but Esau required that he might be made partaker of the like blessing from his father that his brother had partook of; but his father refused it, because all his prayers had been spent upon Jacob: so Esau lamented the mistake. AND WHEN ISAAC PERCEIVED HIS MISTAKE HE WAS SILENT BUT ESAU REQUIRED THAT HE MIGHT BE MADE PARTAKER OF THE LIKE BLESSING FROM HIS FATHER THAT HIS BROTHER HAD PARTOOK OF BUT HIS FATHER REFUSED IT BECAUSE ALL HIS PRAYERS HAD BEEN SPENT UPON JACOB SO ESAUL LAMENTED THE MISTAKE
ther. Isaac perceivest to be Esau. So suspecting no deceit, he ate the supper, and betook himself to his prayers and intercessions with God; and said, "O Lord of all ages, and Creator of all substance; for it was thou that didst propose to my father great plenty of good things, and hast vouchsafed to bestow on me what I have; and hast promised to my posterity to be their kind supporter, and to bestow on them still greater blessings; do thou therefore confirm these thy promises, and do not overlook me, because of my present weak condition, on account of which I most earnestly pray to thee. Be gracious to this my son; and preserve him and keep him from every thing that is evil. Give him a happy life, and the possession of as many good things as thy power is able to bestow. Make him terrible to his enemies, and honorable and beloved among his friends." 7. Thus did Isaac pray to God, thinking his prayers had been made for Esau. He had but just finished them, when Esau came in from hunting. OUGHT HIM THE SUPPER TO HIS FATHER ISAAC PERCEIVEDST TO BE ESAU SO SUSPECTING NO DECEIT HE ATE THE SUPPER AND BETOOK HIMSELF TO HIS PRAYERS AND INTERCESSIONS WITH GOD AND SAID O LORD OF ALL AGES AND CREATOR OF ALL SUBSTANCE FOR IT WAS THOU THAT DIDST PROPOSE TO MY FATHER GREAT PLENTY OF GOOD THINGS AND HAST VOUCHSAFED TO BESTOW ON ME WHAT I HAVE AND HAST PROMISED TO MY POSTERITY TO BE THEIR KIND SUPPORTER AND TO BESTOW ON THEM STILL GREATER BLESSINGS DO THOU THEREFORE CONFIRM THESE THY PROMISES AND DO NOT OVERLOOK ME BECAUSE OF MY PRESENT WEAK CONDITION ON ACCOUNT OF WHICH I MOST EARNESTLY PRAY TO THEE BE GRACIOUS TO THIS MY SON AND PRESERVE HIM AND KEEP HIM FROM EVERYTHING THAT IS EVIL GIVE HIM A HAPPY LIFE AND THE POSSESSION OF AS MANY GOOD THINGS AS THY POWER IS ABLE TO BESTOW MAKE HIM TERRIBLE TO HIS ENEMIES AND HONOURABLE AND BELOVED AMONG HIS FRIENDS THUS DID ISAAC PRAY TO GOD THINKING HIS PRAYERS HAD BEEN MADE FOR ESAU HE HAD BUT JUST FINISHED THEM WHEN ESAU CAME IN FROM HUNTING
