18  Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.

18  Thorns and thistles shall it produce for you, and you shall eat the plants of the earth.

19  In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.'

19  By the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, until you return to the earth from which you were taken. For dust you are, and unto dust you shall return.”
