Genesis 3:18-24
New International Version
18 It will produce thorns and thistles(A) for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.(B)
19 By the sweat of your brow(C)
you will eat your food(D)
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.”(E)
20 Adam[a] named his wife Eve,[b](F) because she would become the mother of all the living.
21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.(G) 22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us,(H) knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life(I) and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden(J) to work the ground(K) from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side[c] of the Garden of Eden(L) cherubim(M) and a flaming sword(N) flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.(O)

King James Version
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
