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)toil you will eat of it
All the days of your life.
18
“Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you;
And you will eat the (b)plants of the field;
19
By the sweat of your face
You will eat bread,
Till you (C)return to the ground,
Because (D)from it you were taken;
For you are dust,
And to dust you shall return.”
