Genesis 4:5-12

5and upon CainH7014, and on his offeringH4503, he did not lookH8159. And CainH7014 was veryH3966 angryH2734, and his countenance fellH5307.

6And Jehovah saidH559 to CainH7014, WhyH4100 art thou angryH2734, and whyH4100 is thy countenance fallenH5307?

7If thou doest wellH3190, will not [thy countenance] look up [with confidence]? and if thou doest not wellH3190, sinH2403 lieth at the doorH6607; and unto thee [shall be] his desireH8669, and thou shalt ruleH4910 over him.

8And CainH7014 spoke to AbelH1893 his brotherH251, and it came to pass when they wereH1961 in the fieldH7704, that CainH7014 roseH6965 up against AbelH1893 his brotherH251, and slewH2026 him.

9And Jehovah saidH559 to CainH7014, WhereH335 is AbelH1893 thy brotherH251? And he saidH559, I knowH3045 not: am I my brother's keeperH8104?

10And he saidH559, What hast thou done? the voiceH6963 of thy brother's bloodH1818 is cryingH6817 to me from the groundH127.

11And nowH6258 be thou cursedH779 from the groundH127, which hath openedH6475 its mouthH6310 to receiveH3947 thy brother's bloodH1818 from thy handH3027.

12When thou tillest the groundH776, it shall not henceforth yield thee its strengthH3581; a wanderer and fugitive shalt thou beH1961 on the earthH776.
