13 And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, a“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14 So 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 ayou shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
“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 ayou shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between ayour seed and bher Seed;
cHe shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
Between you and the woman,
And between ayour seed and bher Seed;
cHe shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
16 To the woman He said:
“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
aIn pain you shall bring forth children;
bYour desire shall be1 for your husband,
And he shall crule over you.”
“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
aIn pain you shall bring forth children;
bYour desire shall be1 for your husband,
And he shall crule over you.”
17 Then to Adam He said, a“Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree bof which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
c“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
dIn toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
c“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
dIn toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
