Genesis 3:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

    and between your offspring and hers;

    and you will strike his heel.’

‘I will greatly increase your pangs in childbearing;
    in pain you shall bring forth children,
yet your desire shall be for your husband,
    and he shall rule over you.’

‘Because you have listened to the voice of your wife,

    “You shall not eat of it”,

    in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
