Genesis 3:11-15 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

11. The Lord God said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten the fruit of the tree I commanded you not to eat?"

12. The man said, "It was the woman you put here with me. She gave me some fruit from the tree. And I ate it."

13. Then the Lord God said to the woman, "What have you done?" The woman said, "The serpent tricked me. That's why I ate the fruit."

14. So the Lord God spoke to the serpent. He said, "Because you have done this, "I am putting a curse on you. You are cursed more than all of the livestock and all of the wild animals. You will crawl on the ground. You will eat dust all of the days of your life.

15. I will put hatred between you and the woman. Your children and her children will be enemies. Her son will crush your head. And you will crush his heel."
