NRSV


14 The LORD God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this,
    cursed are you among all animals
    and among all wild creatures;
upon your belly you shall go,
    and dust you shall eat
    all the days of your life.
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring and hers;
he will strike your head,
    and you will strike his heel.”

According to brother Alan Fowler these verses contain two of "three passages in Genesis 2 and 3 which support the view that the account is non-literal" — see Problems with Literal Readings of Genesis 2:4-3:24
