4:12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
More tough farming. And: fugitive and vagabond.
I can't say I understand either of those two. To me, a fugitive is someone who is running from punishment, not as punishment. And vagabond means either that you choose to keep moving around (and choice isn't a punishment); or that you can't find a job (or food) where you are, so you keep moving around. Not being able to get enough food farming might be what's going on. But I don't see how moving around is going to help if you're cursed by God.
