Genesis 3:15-17

Contemporary English Version

^15 (A) You and this woman
    will hate each other;
your descendants and hers
    will always be enemies.
One of hers will strike you
    on the head,
and you will strike him
    on the heel.”

“You will suffer terribly
    when you give birth.
But you will still desire
your husband,
    and he will rule over you.”

“You listened to your wife
and ate the fruit
    I told you not to eat.
And so, the ground
will be under a curse
    because of what you did.
As long as you live,
you will have to struggle
    to grow enough food.
