But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 He said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.”(A) 11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate.”(B) 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent tricked me, and I ate.”(C) 14 The Lord God said to the serpent,

“Because you have done this,
    cursed are you among all animals
    and among all wild creatures;
upon your belly you shall go,
    and dust you shall eat
    all the days of your life.(D)
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman
    and between your offspring and hers;
he will strike your head,
    and you will strike his heel.”(E)

16 To the woman he said,

“I will make your pangs in childbirth exceedingly great;
    in pain you shall bring forth children,
yet your desire shall be for your husband,
    and he shall rule over you.”(F)

17 And to the man[a] he said,

“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
    and have eaten of the tree
about which I commanded you,
    ‘You shall not eat of it,’
cursed is the ground because of you;
    in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;(G)

  1. 3.17 Or to Adam

But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”(A)

10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid(B) because I was naked;(C) so I hid.”

11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked?(D) Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?(E)

12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me(F)—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me,(G) and I ate.”

14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,

“Cursed(H) are you above all livestock
    and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
    and you will eat dust(I)
    all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring[a](J) and hers;(K)
he will crush[b] your head,(L)
    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.(M)
Your desire will be for your husband,
    and he will rule over you.(N)

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,’(O)

“Cursed(P) is the ground(Q) because of you;
    through painful toil(R) you will eat food from it
    all the days of your life.(S)
