Genesis 3:16-19
New American Standard Bible
16 To the woman He said,
“I will greatly multiply
Your pain [a]in childbirth,
In pain you shall (A)deliver children;
Yet your desire will be for your husband,
And (B)he shall rule over you.”
17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’;
(C)Cursed is the ground because of you;
(D)With [b]hard labor you shall eat from it
All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you;
Yet you shall eat the [c]plants of the field;
19 By the sweat of your face
You shall eat bread,
Until you (E)return to the ground,
Because (F)from it you were taken;
For you are dust,
And to dust you shall return.”
