Genesis 3:8-15
English Standard Version
8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool[a] of the day, and the man and his wife (A)hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”[b] 10 And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, (B)because I was naked, and I hid myself.” 11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 The man said, (C)“The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, (D)“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
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 (E)dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring[c] and (F)her offspring;
(G)he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”
