6Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to CainH7014, “1WhyH4100 are you angryH2734? And whyH4100 has your countenanceH6440 fallenH5307? 72IfH518 you doH3190 wellH3190, 3will not your countenance be liftedH7613 up? 4And ifH518 you do not doH3190 wellH3190, sinH2403 is crouchingH7257 at the doorH6607; and its desireH8669 is for you, 5but you must masterH4910 it.” 8CainH7014 6toldH559 AbelH1893 his brotherH251. And it cameH1961 about when they were in the fieldH7704, that CainH7014 roseH6965 up againstH413 AbelH1893 his brotherH251 and 7killedH2026 him.
