Genniesays 3:16

Answer 3

Ack! I rarely use a cut-and-paste if I'm quoting something, cause it's usually from a book I have at hand. So I have to type it. Case in point, my normal translation of the Bible is the New Jerusalem Bible which is only partially available on-line. So here it is, hand typed:

"To the woman he said:
I shall give you intense pain in childbearing,
you will give birth to your children in pain.
Your yearning will be for your husband,
and he will dominate you."

Interesting choice of texts.

Peace to you.
