Then the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?”
He said, “I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.”
He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.”
And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”

more than all animals, domestic and wild.
You will crawl on your belly,
groveling in the dust as long as you live.
