Genesis 3:17 in Context — Genesis 3
15 Je mettrai inimitié entre toi et la femme, entre ta postérité et sa postérité: celle-ci t’écrasera la tête, et tu lui blesseras le talon.
16 Il dit à la femme: J’augmenterai la souffrance de tes grossesses, tu enfanteras avec douleur, et tes désirs se porteront vers ton mari, mais il dominera sur toi.
17 Il dit à l’homme: Puisque tu as écouté la voix de ta femme, et que tu as mangé de l’arbre au sujet duquel je t’avais donné cet ordre: Tu n’en mangeras point! Le sol sera maudit à cause de toi. C’est à force de peine que tu en tireras ta nourriture tous les jours de ta vie,
18 il te produira des épines et des ronces, et tu mangeras de l’herbe des champs.
19 C’est à la sueur de ton visage que tu mangeras du pain, jusqu’à ce que tu retournes dans la terre, d’où tu as été pris; car tu es poussière, et tu retourneras dans la poussière.
