He said to Adam: “Since you have hearkened to the words of your wife and eaten from the tree I warned you to shun, saying, ‘Don’t eat from it,’ you have brought down a curse upon the earth. You will need to toil every day of your life to wrest a living from it, and it will reward your efforts with thorns and briars. You will eat the grass of the field. By the sweat of your brow will you have bread to eat, until you return to the earth from which you sprang, because you are dirt and to the dirt you return.”
Genesis 3: 17–19
