Genesis 3:17-19
Common English Bible
17 To the man he said, “Because you listened to your wife’s voice and you ate from the tree that I commanded, ‘Don’t eat from it,’
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.”
Genesis 3:17-19
New International Version
17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’(A)
“Cursed(B) is the ground(C) because of you;
through painful toil(D) you will eat food from it
all the days of your life.(E)
18 It will produce thorns and thistles(F) for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.(G)
19 By the sweat of your brow(H)
you will eat your food(I)
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.”(J)
