Genesis 3:8-24 - Sin's Consequences
8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze,
10 And he said, “I heard You
11 Then He asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12 Then the man replied,
13 So the Lord God asked the woman, “What is this you have done?”
And the woman said, “It was the serpent. He deceived me, and I ate.”
14 Then the Lord God said to the serpent:
you are cursed more than any livestock
and more than any wild animal.
You will move on your belly
and eat dust all the days of your life.
and between your seed and her seed.
He will strike your head,
and you will strike his heel.
16 He said to the woman:
you will bear children in anguish.
Your desire
yet he will rule over you.
17 And He said to Adam, “Because you listened to your wife’s voice and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘Do not eat from it’:
You will eat from it by means of painful labor
all the days of your life.
and you will eat the plants of the field.
until you return to the ground,
since you were taken from it.
For you are dust,
and you will return to dust.”
20 Adam named his wife Eve
22 The Lord God said, “Since man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil, he must not reach out, take from the tree of life, eat, and live forever.”
