Genesis 3:14-19

14 The Lord God said to the serpent,

“Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all livestock
and above all beasts of the field;
on your belly you shall go,
and ^adust you shall eat
all the days of your life.
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring ^{▼▼Hebrew seed; so throughout Genesis} and ^cher offspring;
^dhe shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”
16 To the woman he said,

“I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing;
^ein pain you shall bring forth children.
^fYour desire shall be contrary to ^{▼▼Or shall be toward (see 4:7)} your husband,
but he shall ^hrule over you.”
17 And to Adam he said,

“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
ⁱof which I commanded you,
‘You shall not eat of it,’
^jcursed is the ground because of you;
^kin pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
^lfor you are dust,
and ^mto dust you shall return.”
