Genesis 3:17-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 To the man he said: Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, You shall not eat from it,
Cursed is the ground[a] because of you!
In toil you shall eat its yield
all the days of your life.(A)
18 Thorns and thistles it shall bear for you,
and you shall eat the grass of the field.
