Genesis 3:8-17
English Standard Version
8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool[a] of the day, and the man and his wife (A)hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”[b] 10 And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, (B)because I was naked, and I hid myself.” 11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 The man said, (C)“The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, (D)“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
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 (E)dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring[c] and (F)her offspring;
(G)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;
(H)in pain you shall bring forth children.
(I)Your desire shall be contrary to[d] your husband,
but he shall (J)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
(K)of which I commanded you,
‘You shall not eat of it,’
(L)cursed is the ground because of you;
(M)in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;

New International Version
8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking(A) in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid(B) from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”(C)
10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid(D) because I was naked;(E) so I hid.”
11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked?(F) Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?(G)”
12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me(H)—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me,(I) and I ate.”
14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,
“Cursed(J) are you above all livestock
and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust(K)
all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring[a](L) and hers;(M)
he will crush[b] your head,(N)
and you will strike his heel.”
16 To the woman he said,
“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
with painful labor you will give birth to children.(O)
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.(P)”
17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’(Q)
