Because you have done this,
you are cursed more than any livestock
and more than any wild animal.
You will move on your belly
and eat dust all the days of your life.^(A)

¹⁷ They will lick the dust like a snake;^(A)
they will come trembling out of their hiding places^(B)
like reptiles slithering on the ground.^(C)
They will tremble in the presence of the Lord our God;^(D)
they will stand in awe of you.
