SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:17
¶ Y al hombre dijo: Por cuanto escuchaste la voz de tu mujer, y comiste del árbol de que te mandé diciendo: No comerás de él. Maldita será la tierra por amor de ti; con dolor comerás de ella todos los días de tu vida;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 3:17
Verse 17. Unto Adam he said] The man being the last in the transgression is brought up last to receive his sentence: Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife - ""thou wast not deceived, she only gave and counseled thee to eat; this thou shouldst have resisted;"" and that he did not is the reason of his condemnation. Cursed is the ground for thy sake - from henceforth its fertility shall be greatly impaired; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it - be in continual perplexity concerning the seed time and the harvest, the cold and the heat, the wet and the dry. How often are all the fruits of man's toll destroyed by blasting, by mildew, by insects, wet weather, land floods, &c.! Anxiety and carefulness are the labouring man's portion.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 16-19 - The woman, for her sin, is condemned to a state of sorrow, and of subjection; proper punishments of that sin, in which she had sought to gratify the desire of her eye, and of the flesh, and her pride. Sin brought sorrow into the world; that made the world a vale of tears. N wonder our sorrows are multiplied, when our sins are so. He shall rul over thee, is but God's command, Wives, be subject to your ow husbands. If man had not sinned, he would always have ruled with wisdo and love; if the woman had not sinned, she would always have obeye with humility and meekness. Adam laid the blame on his wife; but thoug it was her fault to persuade him to eat the forbidden fruit, it was his fault to hearken to her. Thus men's frivolous pleas will, in the day of God's judgment, be turned against them. God put marks of displeasure of Adam. 1. His habitation is cursed. God gave the earth to the children of men, to be a comfortable dwelling; but it is now cursed for man' sin. Yet Adam is not himself cursed, as the serpent was, but only the ground for his sake. 2. His employments and enjoyments are imbittere to him. Labour is our duty, which we must faithfully perform; it is part of man's sentence, which idleness daringly defies. Uneasiness an weariness with labour are our just punishment, which we must patientl submit to, since they are less than our iniquity deserves. Man's foo shall become unpleasant to him. Yet man is not sentenced to eat dust a the serpent, only to eat the herb of the field. 3. His life also is but short; considering how full of trouble his days are, it is in favour to him that they are few. Yet death being dreadful to nature, even when life is unpleasant, that concludes the punishment. Sin brought deat into the world: if Adam had not sinned, he had not died. He gave way to temptation, but the Saviour withstood it. And how admirably the satisfaction of our Lord Jesus, by his death and sufferings, answere the sentence passed on our first parents! Did travailing pains com with sin? We read of the travail of Christ's soul, Isa 53:11; and the pains of death he was held by, are so called, Ac 2:24. Did subjectio came in with sin? Christ was made under the law, Ga 4:4. Did the curs come in with sin? Christ was made a curse for us, he died a curse death, Ga 3:13. Did thorns come in with sin? He was crowned with thorn for us. Did sweat come in with sin? He sweat for us, as it had bee great drops of blood. Did sorrow come in with sin? He was a man of sorrows; his soul was, in his agony, exceeding sorrowful. Did deat come in with sin? He became obedient unto death. Thus is the plaster a wide as the wound. Blessed be God for his Son our Lord Jesus Christ.
