Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 3:17

17. And unto Adam he said, because thou hast hearkned unto the voice of thy Wife , and hast eaten of the Tree of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.

(i. e.) Obeyed the word and counsel, contrary to my expresse command.

Which shall now yield both fewer and worse fruits, and those too with more trouble of mens minds and labour of their bodies.

(i. e.) Because of thy sin; or to thy use, or, as far as concerns thee.

Or, with toil, or, grief.
