God Pronounces Judgment

¹⁷ And to Adam he said, Because thou didst listen to the voice of thy wife, and thou wilt eat from the tree which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat from it; cursed the earth for thy sake; in labor shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; ¹⁸ And thorns and weeds shall it cause to sprout forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the green herb of the field. ¹⁹ In the sweat of thy face thou shalt eat food until thy turning back to the earth; for out of it thou wert taken; for dust thou art, and to dust shalt thou turn back.
