17 And to the man[a] he said,
“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
about which I commanded you,
‘You shall not eat of it,’
cursed is the ground because of you;
in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;(A)
18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.(B)
19 By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread
until you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.”(C)

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 You sweep them away; they are like a dream,
like grass that is renewed in the morning;(A)
6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the evening it fades and withers.(B)
7 For we are consumed by your anger;
by your wrath we are overwhelmed.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins in the light of your countenance.(C)
9 For all our days pass away under your wrath;
our years come to an end[a] like a sigh.(D)
10 The days of our life are seventy years
or perhaps eighty, if we are strong;
even then their span[b] is only toil and trouble;
they are soon gone, and we fly away.(E)
11 Who considers the power of your anger?
Your wrath is as great as the fear that is due you.(F)
12 So teach us to count our days
that we may gain a wise heart.(G)

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)
