Genesis 1:27-30
New King James Version
27 So God created man (A)in His own image; in the image of God He created him; (B)male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, (C)“Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and (D)subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that [a]moves on the earth.”
29 And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; (E)to you it shall be for food. 30 Also, to (F)every beast of the earth, to every (G)bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is [b]life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so.

New King James Version
8 And they heard (A)the [a]sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the [b]cool of the day, and Adam and his wife (B)hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
9 Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, (C)and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”
12 Then the man said, (D)“The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
13 And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, (E)“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14 So the Lord God said to the serpent:
“Because you have done this,
You are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And (F)you shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between (G)your seed and (H)her Seed;
(I)He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
16 To the woman He said:
“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
(J)In pain you shall bring forth children;
(K)Your desire shall be [c]for your husband,
And he shall (L)rule over you.”
17 Then to Adam He said, (M)“Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree (N)of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
(O)“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
(P)In toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall [d]bring forth for you,
And (Q)you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 (R)In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
(S)For dust you are,
And (T)to dust you shall return.”

New King James Version
Lamentation for the King of Tyre
11 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 12 “Son of man, (A)take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
(B)“You were the seal of perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 You were in (C)Eden, the garden of God;
Every precious stone was your covering:
The sardius, topaz, and diamond,
Beryl, onyx, and jasper,
Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.
The workmanship of (D)your timbrels and pipes
Was prepared for you on the day you were created.
14 “You were the anointed (E)cherub who covers;
I established you;
You were on (F)the holy mountain of God;
You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
Till (G)iniquity was found in you.
16 “By the abundance of your trading
You became filled with violence within,
And you sinned;
Therefore I cast you as a profane thing
Out of the mountain of God;
And I destroyed you, (H)O covering cherub,
From the midst of the fiery stones.
17 “Your (I)heart was [a]lifted up because of your beauty;
You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
I cast you to the ground,
I laid you before kings,
That they might gaze at you.
18 “You defiled your sanctuaries
By the multitude of your iniquities,
By the iniquity of your trading;
Therefore I brought fire from your midst;
It devoured you,
And I turned you to ashes upon the earth
In the sight of all who saw you.
19 All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you;
(J)You have become a horror,
And shall be no (K)more forever.” ’ ”
