Genesis 3:11-16

11“Who told you that you were naked?” asked the LORD God. “Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”

12And the man answered, “The woman whom You gave me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

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

“The serpent deceived me,” she replied, “and I ate.”

14So the LORD God said to the serpent:

“Because you have done this,cursed are you above all livestockand every beast of the field!On your belly will you go,and dust you will eat,all the days of your life.15And I will put enmity between you and the woman,and between your seed and her seed.He will crush your head,and you will strike his heel.1”

16To the woman He said:

“I will sharply increase your pain in childbirth;in pain you will bring forth children.Your desire will be for your husband,2and he will rule over you.”
