  1. 14Yahweh God said to the serpent,
    “Because you have done this,
    you are cursed above all livestock,
    and above every animal of the field.
    You shall go on your belly
    and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
  2. 15I will put hostility between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring and her offspring.
    He will bruise your head,
    and you will bruise his heel.”

    and he will rule over you.”
  4. 17To Adam he said,
    “Because you have listened to your wife’s voice,
    and ate from the tree,
