Psalm 90:2-13
2 Before the mountains became, or the land was formed along with the world: from ages past, even to all ages, you are God. 3 And, lest man be turned aside in humiliation, you have said: Be converted, O sons of men. 4 For a thousand years before your eyes are like the days of yesterday, which have passed by, and they are like a watch of the night, 5 which was held for nothing: so their years shall be. 6 In the morning, he may pass away like grass; in the morning, he may flower and pass away. In the evening, he will fall, and harden, and become dry. 7 For, at your wrath, we have withered away, and we have been disturbed by your fury. 8 You have placed our iniquities in your sight, our age in the illumination of your countenance. 9 For all our days have faded away, and at your wrath, we have fainted. Our years will be considered to be like a spider's web. 10 The days of our years in them are seventy years. But in the powerful, they are eighty years, and more of these are with hardship and sorrow. For mildness has overwhelmed us, and we shall be corrected. 11 Who knows the power of your wrath? And, before fear, can your wrath 12 be numbered? So make known your right hand, along with men learned in heart, in wisdom. 13 Return, O Lord, how long? And may you be persuaded on behalf of your servants. Genesis 3:9-24 9 And the Lord God called Adam and said to him: "Where are you?" 10 And he said, "I heard your voice in Paradise, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and so I hid myself." 11 He said to him, "Then who told you that you were naked, if you have not eaten of the tree from which I instructed you that you should not eat?" 12 And Adam said, "The woman, whom you gave to me as a companion, gave to me from the tree, and I ate." 13 And the Lord God said to the woman, "Why have you done this?" And she responded, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." 14 And the Lord God said to the serpent: "Because you have done this, you are cursed among all living things, even the wild beasts of the earth. Upon your breast shall you travel, and the ground shall you eat, all the days of your life. 15 I will put enmities between you and the woman, between your offspring and her offspring. She will crush your head, and you will lie in wait for her heel." 16 To the woman, he also said: "I will multiply your labors and your conceptions. In pain shall you give birth to sons, and you shall be under your husband's power, and he shall have dominion over you." 17 Yet truly, to Adam, he said: "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree, from which I instructed you that you should not eat, cursed is the land that you work. In hardship shall you eat from it, all the days of your life. 18 Thorns and thistles shall it produce for you, and you shall eat the plants of the earth. 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." 20 And Adam called the name of his wife, 'Eve,' because she was the mother of all the living. 21 The Lord God also made for Adam and his wife garments from skins, and he clothed them. 22 And he said: "Behold, Adam has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Therefore, now perhaps he may put forth his hand and also take from the tree of life, and eat, and live in eternity." 23 And so the Lord God sent him away from the Paradise of enjoyment, in order to work the earth from which he was taken. 24 And he cast out Adam. And in front of the Paradise of enjoyment, he placed the Cherubim with a flaming sword, turning together, to guard the way to the tree of life.
