1 Then God looked again at Adam and his crying and groaning¹, and the Word of God came to him, and said to him:—

 

2 "O Adam, when you were in My garden, you knew neither eating nor drinking; neither faintness nor suffering; neither leanness of flesh, nor change; neither did sleep depart from thine eyes. But since you transgressed², and came into this strange land, all these trials are come over you."
