Compare all
17 Then to Adam He said, a“Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree bof which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
c“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
dIn toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life. 
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall1 bring forth for you,
And ayou shall eat the herb of the field. 
19 aIn the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
bFor dust you are,
And cto dust you shall return.”  
20 And Adam called his wife’s name aEve, because she was the mother of all living.  
21 Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.

Genesis 3:19

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread - His business before he sinned was a constant pleasure to him; but now his labour shall be a weariness. Unto dust shalt thou return - Thy body shall be forsaken by thy soul, and become itself a lump of dust, and then it shall be lodged in the grave, and mingle with the dust of the earth.
