Genesis 4:9-14

9Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s guardian?”

10Then he said, “What have you done? Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground!

11So now you are cursed, alienated from the ground that opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood you have shed.

12If you work the ground, it will never again give you its yield. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”

13But Cain answered the Lord, “My punishment is too great to bear!

14Since you are banishing me today from the face of the earth, and I must hide from your presence and become a restless wanderer on the earth, whoever finds me will kill me.”
