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 (A)dust you shall eat
    all the days of your life.
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring[a] and (B)her offspring;
(C)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;
    (D)in pain you shall bring forth children.
(E)Your desire shall be contrary to[b] your husband,
    but he shall (F)rule over you.”
