14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “This is your punishment: You are singled out from among all the domestic and wild animals of the whole earth—to be cursed. You shall grovel in the dust as long as you live, crawling along on your belly.

15 From now on you and the woman will be enemies, as will your offspring and hers. You will strike his heel, but he will crush your head.”

The divine sentence — thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field
Crawling and eating dust — upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat
War declared — I will put enmity between thee and the woman
The devil's children — between thy seed
The promised son — and her seed
Victory over Satan — it shall bruise thy head
The wounded Messiah — thou shalt bruise his heel
