Genesis 3:16-19

16To the woman he said,

“I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing;
ain pain you shall bring forth children.
bYour desire shall be contrary to
Or shall be toward (see 4:7)
your husband,
but he shall drule over you.”
17And to Adam he said,

Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
eof which I commanded you,
‘You shall not eat of it,’
fcursed is the ground because of you;
gin pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
hfor you are dust,
and ito dust you shall return.”

Psalms 90:10

10The years of our life are seventy,
or even by reason of strength eighty;
yet their span
Or pride
is but toil and trouble;
they are soon gone, and we fly away.
