Genesis 28:9

Genesis 28:9. Then went Esau unto Ishmael— That is, to the country or family of Ishmael: see ch. Genesis 36:3. Ishmael himself had now been dead several years. Esau began now to see his rash choice, and fain would mend it by a match more to his father's mind: in order to which he takes a daughter of Ishmael; and thus, instead of mending the matter, he, if possible, but more confirmed the exclusion of his seed from the grand promise, for the bond-woman had been solemnly cast out and rejected. Note; They who have only an eye to please men in what they do, will often meet with bitter disappointments.
