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

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

14 So the Lord God said to the serpent:

“Because you have done this,
You are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And (B)you shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between (C)your seed and (D)her Seed;
(E)He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”

16 To the woman He said:

“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
(F)In pain you shall bring forth children;
(G)Your desire shall be [a]for your husband,
And he shall (H)rule over you.”
