Genesis 3:17-19

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁷ To Adam he said:

Because you listened to your wife’s voice
and ate from the tree about which I commanded you,
“You shall not eat from it,”
the soil is cursed on account of you.
You will eat from it with painful labor all the days of your life.
¹⁸ Thorns and thistles will spring up from the ground for you,
but you will eat the crops of the field.
¹⁹ By the sweat of your face you will eat bread
until you return to the soil,
for out of it you were taken.
For you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.
