Genesis 3:16
Compare all
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. 
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.”  
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.”  
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. 
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall1 bring forth for you,
And ayou shall eat the herb of the field. 
19 aIn the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
bFor dust you are,
And cto dust you shall return.”

Genesis 3:16

unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow—She was doomed as a wife and mother to suffer pain of body and distress of mind. From being the help meet of man and the partner of his affections [Genesis 2:18, Genesis 2:23], her condition would henceforth be that of humble subjection.
