Enmity Between You - Genesis 3:14-15

Genesis 3:14-15 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.

I will put enmity between you and the woman,

and between your offspring and her offspring;

he shall bruise your head,

and you shall bruise his heel.”


Who are the offspring of the serpent? It is the nations that surround and hate Israel. Their rabid and intense voice of violence is but the hissing of their father as he slithers in the dust of the earth. He eats the dust of the earth, that is as many as he can deceive.
