Genesis 4:4-7

41AbelH1893, on his partH1571 alsoH1571 broughtH935 of the firstlingsH1060 of his flockH6629 and of their fatH2459 portionsH2459. And 2the LordH3068 hadH8159 regardH8159 for AbelH1893 and for his offeringH4503;

5but 3for CainH7014 and for his offeringH4503 He hadH8159 noH3808 regardH8159. So 4CainH7014 becameH2734 veryH3966 angryH2734 and his countenanceH6440 fellH5307.

6Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to CainH7014, “5WhyH4100 are you angryH2734? And whyH4100 has your countenanceH6440 fallenH5307?

76IfH518 you doH3190 wellH3190, 7will not your countenance be liftedH7613 up? 8And ifH518 you do not doH3190 wellH3190, sinH2403 is crouchingH7257 at the doorH6607; and its desireH8669 is for you, 9but you must masterH4910 it.”
