New American Standard Bible

¹⁴Then the Lord God said to the serpent,

“^(A)Because you have done this,
Cursed are you more than all the livestock,
And more than any animal of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And ^(B)dust you shall eat
All the days of your life;
¹⁵And I will ^[a]^(C)make enemies
Of you and the woman,
And of your ^[b]offspring and her ^[c]Descendant;
^(D)He shall ^[d]bruise you on the head,
And you shall bruise Him on the heel.”
