    10The man replied,“I heard you moving about in the orchard, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.”

    11And the LORD God said,“Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

    12The man said,“The woman whom you gave me, she gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it.”

    19By the sweat of your brow you will eat food until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you will return.”
