The Fate of the Serpent

So the LORD God said to the serpent:

“Because you have done this,

cursed are you above all livestock

and every beast of the field!

On your belly {will} you go,

and dust you {will} eat,

all the days of your life.

15 

And 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.[fn]”
