He said to Adam: Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.

It will produce thorns and thistles for you. You will eat the plants of the field. You will eat your food by the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground. You came from the ground. For dust you are and to dust you will return.

When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer (vagabond) on the earth.

He named him Noah. He said: He will comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground Jehovah has cursed.

For the creation was subject to corruption, not by it's own will but by reason of the one who subjected it on the basis of hope.
