אולי ימשני אבי והייתי בעיניו כמתעתע והבאתי עלי קללה ולא ברכה

אוּלַ֤י יְמֻשֵּׁ֨נִי֙ אָבִ֔י וְהָיִ֥יתִי בְעֵינָ֖יו כִּמְתַעְתֵּ֑עַ וְהֵבֵאתִ֥י עָלַ֛י קְלָלָ֖ה וְלֹ֥א בְרָכָֽה׃
Perhaps my father will feel me, and I will be in his eyes as a deceiver, and I will bring upon myself a curse and not a blessing.”
