15. I will put hostility between you and the woman,and between your offspring and her offspring.He will bruise your head,and you will bruise his heel.”
16. To the woman he said,“I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth.In pain you will bear children.Your desire will be for your husband,and he will rule over you.”
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 labor 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.”

23. Therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
24. So he drove out the man; and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
