13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What have you done?”

She said, “The snake tricked me, so I ate the fruit.”

14 So the Lord God said to the snake,

“You did this very bad thing,
    so bad things will happen to you.
It will be worse for you
    than for any other animal.
You must crawl on your belly
    and eat dust all the days of your life.
15 I will make you and the woman enemies to each other.
    Your children and her children will be enemies.
You will bite her child’s foot,
    but he will crush your head.”

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me,(A) and I ate.”

“Cursed(B) are you above all livestock
    and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
    and you will eat dust(C)
    all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring[a](D) and hers;(E)
he will crush[b] your head,(F)
    and you will strike his heel.”
