14 And Jehovah* God proceeded to say to the serpent:+ “Because you have done this thing, you are the cursed one out of all* the domestic animals and out of all the wild beasts of the field. Upon your belly you will go and dust is what you will eat* all the days of your life.+

17 They will lick up dust like the serpents;+ like reptiles of [the] earth they will come in agitation out of their bulwarks.+ To Jehovah our God* they will come quivering, and they will be afraid of you.”+
