First, God cursed the Serpent to crawl and lick the dust, rather than be the pretty creature he had been before. Second, in Genesis 3:16, God said to Eve that he would greatly increase her pains in childbirth. Third, we read in the same verse, that the woman's desire will be for her husband and he will rule over her. Fourth, verses 17 and 18 tell us that man would have to painfully work the ground for his food. The ground would also produce thorns and thistles and man will eat the plants of the field. Fifth, God told Adam that man would return to the ground as dust after he dies as shown in verse 19. Sixth, the punishment for Adam and Eve, stated in verses 23 and 24, would be banishment from the Garden of Eden.
