13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “How could you have done such a thing?”

She answered, “The snake tricked me, so I ate the fruit.”

14 The Lord God said to the snake,

“Because you did this,
    a curse will be put on you.
    You will be cursed as no other animal, tame or wild, will ever be.
You will crawl on your stomach,
    and you will eat dust all the days of your life.
15 I will make you and the woman
    enemies to each other.
Your descendants and her descendants
    will be enemies.
One of her descendants will crush your head,
    and you will bite his heel.”

    and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
    and you will eat dust(C)
    all the days of your life.

    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring[a](D) and hers;(E)
he will crush[b] your head,(F)
    and you will strike his heel.”
