“Because you did this,
    a curse will be put on you.
    You will be cursed as no other animal, ·tame [beasts; livestock] or ·wild [^Lof the field], will ever be.
You will ·crawl [go] on your ·stomach [belly],
    and you will eat dust all the days of your life.
¹⁵ I will ·make you and the woman
    enemies to each other [^Tplace hostility/enmity between you and the woman].
Your ·descendants [^Lseed] and her ·descendants [^Lseed]
    will be enemies.
·One of her descendants [^LHe] will crush your head,
    and you will ·bite [strike; ^Tbruise; ^Lcrush] his heel [Rom. 16:20; Rev. 12:9].”

“I will ·cause you to have much trouble [or increase your pain]
    ·when you are pregnant [in childbearing],
and when you give birth to children,
    you will have great pain.
You will greatly desire [^Cthe word implies a desire to control; 4:7] your husband,
    but he will rule over you.”
