Genesis 3:14–19

¹⁴And Yahweh God said to the serpent,

“^aBecause you have done this,

Cursed are you more than any of the cattle,

And more than every beast of the field;

On your belly you will go,

And ^bdust you will eat

All the days of your life;

¹⁵And I will put ^aenmity

Between you and the woman,

And between your seed and her seed;

^bHe shall ¹bruise you on the head,

And you shall bruise him on the heel.”

¹⁶To the woman He said,

“I will greatly multiply

Your pain and ¹conception,

In pain you will ^2abear children;

Your desire will be for your husband,

And ^bhe will rule over you.”

¹⁷Then to Adam He said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’;

^aCursed is the ground because of you;

^bIn ¹pain you will eat of it

All the days of your life.

¹⁸“Both thorns and thistles it shall ^agrow for you;

And you will eat the ¹plants of the field;

¹⁹By the sweat of your ¹face

You will eat bread,

Till you ^areturn to the ground,

Because ^bfrom it you were taken;

For you are dust,

And to dust you shall return.”
