Genesis 3:14-19

¹⁴ The 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 dust you shall eat 

all the days of your life. 

¹⁵  I will put enmity between you and the woman, 

and between your offspring and her offspring; 

he shall bruise your head, 

and you shall bruise his heel.” 

¹⁶ To the woman he said, 

“I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; 

in pain you shall bring forth children. 

Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, 

but he shall rule over you.” 

¹⁷ And to Adam he said, 

“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife 

and have eaten of the tree 

of which I commanded you, 

‘You shall not eat of it,’ 

cursed is the ground because of you; 

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

¹⁸  thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; 

and you shall eat the plants of the field. 

¹⁹  By the sweat of your face 

you shall eat bread, 

till you return to the ground, 

for out of it you were taken; 

for you are dust, 

and to dust you shall return.”
