BEHAVING BADLY
(Genesis 25:19-34)
Struggle in the womb,
the word of an oracle,
neither augured well.
in their adulthood
Jacob took Esau’s birthright:
enmity ensued.
Trickery, cunning,
against rough impulsiveness:
they fell out for years.
We deplore Jacob,
and scorn here-and-now Esau.
How would I behave?
