Genesis 3:14–19

¹⁴So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,

“Cursed^y are you above all livestock

and all wild animals!

You will crawl on your belly

and you will eat dust^z

all the days of your life.

¹⁵And I will put enmity

between you and the woman,

and between your offspring^aa and hers;^b

he will crush^b your head,^c

and you will strike his heel.”

¹⁶To the woman he said,

“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;

with painful labor you will give birth to children.^d

Your desire will be for your husband,

and he will rule over you.^e”

¹⁷To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’^f

“Cursed^g is the ground^h because of you;

through painful toilⁱ you will eat food from it

all the days of your life.^j

¹⁸It will produce thorns and thistles^k for you,

and you will eat the plants of the field.^l

¹⁹By the sweat of your brow^m

you will eat your foodⁿ

until you return to the ground,

since from it you were taken;

for dust you are

and to dust you will return.”^o
