Genesis 3:17-19

The Fall

¹⁷ And to Adam he said,
"Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
_l of which I commanded you,
'You shall not eat of it,'
_m cursed is the ground because of you;
_n in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
¹⁸ thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
¹⁹ By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
_o for you are dust,
and _p to dust you shall return."
