Genesis 3:14–21

¹⁴The 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 ^fdust you shall eat

all the days of your life.

¹⁵I will put enmity between you and the woman,

and between your offspring⁵ and ^gher offspring;

^hhe shall bruise your head,

and you shall bruise his heel.”

¹⁶To the woman he said,

“I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing;

ⁱin pain you shall bring forth children.

^jYour desire shall be for⁶ your husband,

and he shall ^krule over you.”

¹⁷And to Adam he said,

“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife

and have eaten of the tree

^lof which I commanded you,

‘You shall not eat of it,’

^mcursed is the ground because of you;

ⁿin pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;

¹⁸thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;

and you shall eat the plants of the field.

¹⁹By the sweat of your face

you shall eat bread,

till you return to the ground,

for out of it you were taken;

^ofor you are dust,

and ^pto dust you shall return.”

²⁰The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.^{7 21}And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them.
