Genesis 3:17-19

Modern English Version

Cursed is the ground on account of you;
    in hard labor you will eat of it
    all the days of your life.
¹⁸ Thorns and thistles it will bring forth for you,
    and you will eat the plants of the field.
¹⁹ By the sweat of your face
    you will eat bread
until you return to the ground,
    because out of it you were taken;
for you are dust,
    and to dust you will return.”
