Genesis 3:14–21

¹⁴So the Lord God said to the serpent:

“Because you have done this,

You are cursed more than all cattle,

And more than every beast of the field;

On your belly you shall go,

And ⁿyou shall eat dust

All the days of your life.

¹⁵And I will put enmity

Between you and the woman,

And between ^oyour seed and ^pher Seed;

^qHe shall bruise your head,

And you shall bruise His heel.”

¹⁶To the woman He said:

“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;

^rIn pain you shall bring forth children;

^sYour desire shall be ⁵for your husband,

And he shall ^trule over you.”

¹⁷Then to Adam He said, ^u“Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree ^vof which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:

^w“Cursed is the ground for your sake;

^xIn toil you shall eat of it

All the days of your life.

¹⁸Both thorns and thistles it shall ⁶bring forth for you,

And ^yyou shall eat the herb of the field.

^19zIn the sweat of your face you shall eat bread

Till you return to the ground,

For out of it you were taken;

^aFor dust you are,

And ^bto dust you shall return.”

²⁰And Adam called his wife’s name ^cEve, ⁷because she was the mother of all living.

²¹Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.
