14 The Lord God said to the serpent,

(A)Because you have done this,
Cursed are you more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you will go,
And (B)dust you will eat
All the days of your life;
15 And I will put (C)enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her seed;
(D)He shall [a]bruise you on the head,
And you shall bruise him on the heel.”

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.”

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.
