Genesis 3:15-17
International Standard Version
15 “I’ll place hostility between you and the woman,
between your offspring and her offspring.
He’ll strike you on the head,
and you’ll strike him on the heel.”
16 He told the woman,
“I’ll greatly increase the pain of your labor during childbirth.
It will be painful for you to bear children,
“since your trust is turning[a] toward your husband,
and he will dominate you.”
17 He told the man,
“Because you have listened to what your wife said,[b]
and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you,[c]
‘You are not to not eat from it,’
cursed is the ground because of you.
You’ll eat from it through pain-filled labor
for the rest of your life.
