17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’;

(A)Cursed is the ground because of you;
(B)In [a]pain you will eat of it
All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall (C)grow for you;
And you will eat the [b]plants of the field;
19 By the sweat of your [c]face
You will eat bread,
Till you (D)return to the ground,
Because (E)from it you were taken;
For you are dust,
And to dust you shall return.”
