Genesis 28:6 - 9
6 Now Esau learned that Isaac had blessed Jacob and had sent him to Paddan Aram to take a wife from there, and that when he blessed him he commanded him,
"Do not marry a Canannite woman, "
7 and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and had gone to Paddan Aram.
8 Esau then realised how displeasing the Canaanite women were to his father Isaac;
9 so he went to Ishmael and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth and daughter of Ishmael son of Abraham, in addition to the wives he already had.

For Thought
God often accomplishes His purpose with us despite our waywardness and sturbonness. But how much grief we would spare ourselves if we would learn to wait on God, and follow His bidding to the letter.
Contemplation
"If the Lord delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand."
