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

The woman said, “The serpent tricked me. That’s why I ate the fruit.”

14 So the Lord God spoke to the serpent. He said, “Because you have done this,

“You are set apart from all livestock
    and all wild animals.
    I am putting a curse on you.
You will crawl on your belly.
    You will eat dust
    all the days of your life.
15 I will make you and the woman hate each other.
    Your children and her children will be enemies.
Her son will crush your head.
    And you will bite his heel.”
