'It is not our concern, Eve, thy greed and thy wailing, but thine own; for (it is) from thee that the rule of the beasts hath arisen. How was thy mouth opened to eat of the tree concerning which God enjoined thee not to eat of it On this account, our nature also hath been transformed. Now therefore thou canst not endure it, if I begin to reprove thee.'
