Genesis 3:14-19
Common English Bible
14 The Lord God said to the snake,
“Because you did this,
you are the one cursed
out of all the farm animals,
out of all the wild animals.
On your belly you will crawl,
and dust you will eat
every day of your life.
15 I will put contempt
between you and the woman,
between your offspring and hers.
They will strike your head,
but you will strike at their heels.”
16 To the woman he said,
“I will make your pregnancy very painful;
in pain you will bear children.
You will desire your husband,
but he will rule over you.”
17 To the man he said, “Because you listened to your wife’s voice and you ate from the tree that I commanded, ‘Don’t eat from it,’
cursed is the fertile land because of you;
in pain you will eat from it
every day of your life.
18 Weeds and thistles will grow for you,
even as you eat the field’s plants;
19 by the sweat of your face you will eat bread—
until you return to the fertile land,
since from it you were taken;
you are soil,
to the soil you will return.”

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)”
17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’(H)
“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)
