17 And to the man he said,
“Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree
whose fruit I commanded you not to eat,
the ground is cursed because of you.
All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it.
18 It will grow thorns and thistles for you,
though you will eat of its grains.
19 By the sweat of your brow
will you have food to eat
until you return to the ground
from which you were made.
For you were made from dust,
and to dust you will return.”

you will eat your food(I)

since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.”(J)

Psalm 90:5-12
New Living Translation
Psalm 90:5-12
New Living Translation
5 You sweep people away like dreams that disappear.
They are like grass that springs up in the morning.
6 In the morning it blooms and flourishes,
but by evening it is dry and withered.
7 We wither beneath your anger;
we are overwhelmed by your fury.
8 You spread out our sins before you—
our secret sins—and you see them all.
9 We live our lives beneath your wrath,
ending our years with a groan.
10 Seventy years are given to us!
Some even live to eighty.
But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble;
soon they disappear, and we fly away.
11 Who can comprehend the power of your anger?
Your wrath is as awesome as the fear you deserve.
12 Teach us to realize the brevity of life,
so that we may grow in wisdom.
Psalm 90:5-12
New International Version
Psalm 90:5-12
New International Version
5 Yet you sweep people away(A) in the sleep of death—
they are like the new grass of the morning:
6 In the morning it springs up new,
but by evening it is dry and withered.(B)
7 We are consumed by your anger
and terrified by your indignation.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins(C) in the light of your presence.(D)
9 All our days pass away under your wrath;
we finish our years with a moan.(E)
10 Our days may come to seventy years,(F)
or eighty,(G) if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,(H)
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.(I)
11 If only we knew the power of your anger!
Your wrath(J) is as great as the fear that is your due.(K)
12 Teach us to number our days,(L)
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.(M)
