• Genesis 3:16-19
  To the woman He said:
  "I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
  In pain you shall bring forth children;
  Your desire shall be for your husband,
  And he shall rule over you." Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, "You shall not eat of it":
  "Cursed is the ground for your sake;
  In toil you shall eat of it
  All the days of your life.
  
  Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,
  And you shall eat the herb of the field.
  
  In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
  Till you return to the ground,
  For out of it you were taken;
  For dust you are,
  And to dust you shall return."
