Genesis 3:14-16
Living Bible

14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “This is your punishment: You are singled out from among all the domestic and wild animals of the whole earth—to be cursed. You shall grovel in the dust as long as you live, crawling along on your belly. 15 From now on you and the woman will be enemies, as will your offspring and hers. You will strike his heel, but he will crush your head.”

16 Then God said to the woman, “You shall bear children in intense pain and suffering; yet even so, you shall welcome your husband’s affections, and he shall be your master.”

Genesis 3:14-16
New International Version

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

“Cursed(A) are you above all livestock
    and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
    and you will eat dust(B)
    all the days of your life.
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)”
