Genesis 3:17-19

Common English Bible

cursed is the fertile land because of you;
        in pain you will eat from it
        every day of your life.
¹⁸ Weeds and thistles will grow for you,
        even as you eat the field’s plants;
¹⁹     by the sweat of your face you will eat bread—
        until you return to the fertile land,
            since from it you were taken;
            you are soil,
                to the soil you will return.”
