15 I will make you and your brood enemies

The woman’s child will stomp your head,
and you will strike his heel.

And the sorrow of bringing forth the next generation.
You will desire your husband; but rather than a companion,
He will be the dominant partner.

15 And I will put enmity

and between your offspring[a](C) and hers;(D)

and you will strike his heel.”
16 To the woman he said,
