We find further in the Midrash (Eichah Rabbah Pethichta): "(Bereshith 27:22): 'The voice is the voice of Jacob' — So long as the voice of Jacob "chirps" in the houses of prayer and the houses of study the hands of Esav will not prevail over him. But if the voice of Jacob, etc."

And when we look with discerning eyes upon the state of Torah and reverence in general, to see in which of them the sickness of the soul has prevailed more grievously, it is plain to the eye that there is no comparison between the weakness of Torah and the frailty of reverence. For behold, despite all the tribulations that have befallen our holy Torah—its diminished esteem and the desolation of its gates—nevertheless, the promise of the Giver of the Torah, blessed be His Name, remains steadfast: that the testimony shall not be forgotten from the mouth of the seed of Jacob. This has sustained us even to this very day. For the voice, the voice of Jacob (Gen. 27:22), is still heard in the houses of study, and the gates of Zion, distinguished by the learning of halachah, are wide open. And thus there are found, blessed be the Lord, pure-hearted ones who support it with in their decisions and their responses.

What is required in addition to remorse, is the forsaking of evil and the performance of good deeds. One needs to hold on to the pillar of Torah which is the banner of true freedom, i.e. freedom from the evil urge. We are capable of performing mighty deeds as long as we embrace Torah with our right hand, paraphrasing the words of Moses describing G–d's mighty deeds: ימינך ה' נאדרי בכח ימינך ה' תרעץ אויב. Our sages (Midrash Hagadol) in commenting on Genesis 27,22: הקול קול יעקב והידים ידי עשו, "The voice is the voice of Jacob, whereas the hands are the hands of Esau," interpret this phrase to mean that as long as the voice is the voice of Jacob, the hands of Esau are powerless against us.
