Genesis 3:14-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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.(A)
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.”(B)
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.”(C)
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;(D)
18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.(E)
19 By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread
until you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.”(F)

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.”
16 To the woman he said,
“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)”
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,’(H)
“Cursed(I) is the ground(J) because of you;
through painful toil(K) you will eat food from it
all the days of your life.(L)
18 It will produce thorns and thistles(M) for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.(N)
19 By the sweat of your brow(O)
you will eat your food(P)
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.”(Q)
