17 And he said to the man, “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘Do not eat from it’:

The ground is cursed because of you.(A)
You will eat from it by means of painful labor[a]
all the days of your life.
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.(B)
19 You will eat bread[b] by the sweat of your brow
until you return to the ground,(C)
since you were taken from it.
For you are dust,
and you will return to dust.”
