Genesis
God tells the woman her pain in childbearing will be multiplied and describes conflict in the relationship Genesis 3:16. God tells the man the ground is cursed, work will be painful, and he will return to dust Genesis 3:17–19.
16To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
17To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife`s voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, `You shall not eat of it,` cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
18Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
19By 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."
