Genesis 3:18-20
Easy-to-Read Version
18 The ground will grow thorns and weeds for you.
And you will have to eat the plants that grow wild in the fields.[a]
19 You will work hard for your food,
until your face is covered with sweat.
You will work hard until the day you die,
and then you will become dust again.
I used dust to make you,
and when you die, you will become dust again.”
20 Adam[b] named his wife Eve.[c] He gave her this name because Eve would be the mother of everyone who ever lived.
