Genesis 3:14 ESV
The Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all livestock
and above all beasts of the field;
on your belly you shall go,
and dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.
The serpent is cursed to live in the dust of the earth for deceiving Eve. The creature will be unable to stand before The Lord. Dust can represent the realm of the dead. Man returns to dust when he breathes his last. Death is the curse of the disobedient and those who entice them into the darkness of the pit.
While life will come to those who eat the bread of heaven, the fare of the serpent will consist of the fruit of rebellion.
