Genesis 3:17-19
And to the man he said,“ Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat, the ground is cursed because of you. All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it.It will grow thorns and thistles for you, though you will eat of its grains.By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return.”

People leave this world no better off than when they came. All their hard work is for nothing— like working for the wind.Throughout their lives, they live under a cloud— frustrated, discouraged, and angry.
