17 And to Adam he said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree 1of which I commanded you, 'You shall not eat of it,' 2cursed is the ground because of you; 3in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; 4for you are dust, and 5to dust you shall return."
