You will go and dust.

You will eat all the days of your life.

And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed, he shall bruise you on the head and you shall bruise him on the heel.

To the woman, he said I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth and paying you will bring forth children yet.

Your desire will be for your husband and he will rule over you.

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.

Cursed is the ground because of you and toil, you will eat of it all the days of your life, both thorns and thistles, it shall grow for you.

And you will eat the plants of the field by the sweat of your face.

You will eat bread till you return to the ground, because from it, you were taken for you are dust and to dust you shall return.
