Genesis 3:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible

14 ¶ Then the Lord God said to the serpent, [a]Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field: upon thy belly shalt thou go, and [b]dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.

15 I will also put enmity between [c]thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. He shall break thine [d]head, and thou shalt [e]bruise his heel.

16 ¶ Unto the woman he said, I will greatly increase thy [f]sorrows, and thy conceptions. In sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thy desire shall be subject to thine husband, and he shall (A)rule over thee.

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.”

“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)”
