And hast

When the woman saw that the tree produced fruit that was good for food, was attractive to the eye, and was desirable for making one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some of it to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.

Then the Lord God commanded the man, "You may freely eat fruit from every tree of the orchard,

I also explicitly commanded them: "Obey me. If you do, I will be your God and you will be my people. Live exactly the way I tell you and things will go well with you."

Cursed

In sorrow

For evil does not come up from the dust, nor does trouble spring up from the ground,

"Man, born of woman, lives but a few days, and they are full of trouble.

"How often is the lamp of the wicked extinguished? How often does their misfortune come upon them? How often does God apportion pain to them in his anger?

Yes, we are consumed by your anger; we are terrified by your wrath.

What does a man acquire from all his labor and from the anxiety that accompanies his toil on earth?

Surely, he ate in darkness every day of his life, and he suffered greatly with sickness and anger.

I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble and suffering, but take courage -- I have conquered the world."
