The LORDGodsaid to the serpent, "Because you have donethis, Cursed are you morethanallcattle, And morethaneverybeast of the field; On your belly you will go, And dust you will eatAll the days of your life;
15
And I will putenmityBetween you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel."

To the woman He said, "I will greatlymultiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bringforthchildren; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you."
17
Then 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'; Cursed is the groundbecause of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life.
19
By the sweat of your face You will eatbread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return."
