17 To Adam he said,“Because you have listened to your wife’s voice,and ate from the tree,about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’the ground is cursed for your sake.You will eat from it with much labour all the days of your life.
18 It will yield thorns and thistles to you;and you will eat the herb of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground,for out of it you were taken.For you are dust,and to dust you shall return.”

21 The Lord God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
22 The Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever—”
23 Therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
