Genesis 3:14-21
Young's Literal Translation
14 And Jehovah God saith unto the serpent, `Because thou hast done this, cursed [art] thou above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field: on thy belly dost thou go, and dust thou dost eat, all days of thy life;
15 and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee -- the head, and thou dost bruise him -- the heel.'
16 Unto the woman He said, `Multiplying I multiply thy sorrow and thy conception, in sorrow dost thou bear children, and toward thy husband [is] thy desire, and he doth rule over thee.'
17 And to the man He said, `Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and dost eat of the tree concerning which I have charged thee, saying, Thou dost not eat of it, cursed [is] the ground on thine account; in sorrow thou dost eat of it all days of thy life,
18 and thorn and bramble it doth bring forth to thee, and thou hast eaten the herb of the field;
19 by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for dust thou [art], and unto dust thou turnest back.'
20 And the man calleth his wife's name Eve: for she hath been mother of all living.
21 And Jehovah God doth make to the man and to his wife coats of skin, and doth clothe them.

Genesis 3:14-21
New International Version
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)
20 Adam[c] named his wife Eve,[d](R) because she would become the mother of all the living.
21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.(S)
