Genesis 3:15-19
New International Version
15 And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring[a](A) and hers;(B)
he will crush[b] your head,(C)
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.(D)
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.(E)”
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,’(F)
“Cursed(G) is the ground(H) because of you;
through painful toil(I) you will eat food from it
all the days of your life.(J)
18 It will produce thorns and thistles(K) for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.(L)
19 By the sweat of your brow(M)
you will eat your food(N)
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.”(O)

King James Version
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.
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
