“I will greatly multiply
Your pain ^[a]in childbirth,
In pain you shall ^(A)deliver children;
Yet your desire will be for your husband,
And ^(B)he shall rule over you.”

^(A)Cursed is the ground because of you;
^(B)With ^[a]hard labor you shall eat from it
All the days of your life.
¹⁸ Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you;
Yet you shall eat the ^[b]plants of the field;
¹⁹ By the sweat of your face
You shall eat bread,
Until you ^(C)return to the ground,
Because ^(D)from it you were taken;
For you are dust,
And to dust you shall return.”
