Genesis 3:16-19
New American Standard Bible 1995
16 To the woman He said,
“I will greatly multiply
Your pain [a]in childbirth,
In pain you will (A)bring forth children;
Yet your desire will be for your husband,
And (B)he will 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)In [b]toil you will eat of it
All the days of your life.
18 “Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you;
And you will eat the [c]plants of the field;
19 By the sweat of your face
You will eat bread,
Till you (E)return to the ground,
Because (F)from it you were taken;
For you are dust,
And to dust you shall return.”
