14 And Yahweh God said to the serpent,

(A)Because you have done this,
Cursed are you more than any of the cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you will go,
And (B)dust you will eat
All the days of your life;
15 And I will put (C)enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her seed;
(D)He shall [a]bruise you on the head,
And you shall bruise him on the heel.”

16 To the woman He said,

“I will greatly multiply
Your pain and [b]conception,
In pain you will [c](E)bear children;
Your desire will be for your husband,
And (F)he will rule over you.”

15 And I will put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring[a](C) and hers;(D)
he will crush[b] your head,(E)
    and you will strike his heel.”

16 To the woman he said,

“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
    with painful labor you will give birth to children.(F)
Your desire will be for your husband,
    and he will rule over you.(G)
