Genesis 3:14-16
English Standard Version
14 The Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all livestock
and above all beasts of the field;
on your belly you shall go,
and (A)dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring[a] and (B)her offspring;
(C)he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”
16 To the woman he said,
“I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing;
(D)in pain you shall bring forth children.
(E)Your desire shall be contrary to[b] your husband,
but he shall (F)rule over you.”

15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
