“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.
Between you and the woman,
And between ayour seed and bher Seed;
cHe shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
“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.”
c“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
dIn toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
bFor dust you are,
And cto dust you shall return.”
