“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.”

“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)”

“Cursed^(I) is the ground^(J) because of you;
    through painful toil^(K) you will eat food from it
    all the days of your life.^(L)
18 It will produce thorns and thistles^(M) for you,
    and you will eat the plants of the field.^(N)
19 By the sweat of your brow^(O)
    you will eat your food^(P)
until you return to the ground,
    since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
    and to dust you will return.”^(Q)
