Genesis 4:8-13
8CainH7014 1toldH559 AbelH1893 his brotherH251. And it cameH1961 about when they were in the fieldH7704, that CainH7014 roseH6965 up againstH413 AbelH1893 his brotherH251 and 2killedH2026 him.
9Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to CainH7014, “3WhereH335 is AbelH1893 your brotherH251?” And he saidH559, “I do not knowH3045. Am I my brother’sH251 keeperH8104?” 10He saidH559, “WhatH4100 have you doneH6213? 4The voiceH6963 of your brother’sH251 bloodH1818 is cryingH6817 to Me from the groundH127. 11NowH6258 5you are cursedH779 from the groundH127, whichH834 has openedH6475 its mouthH6310 to receiveH3947 your brother’sH251 bloodH1818 from your handH3027. 126WhenH3588 you cultivateH5647 the groundH127, it will noH3808 longerH3254 yieldH5414 its strengthH3581 to you; 7you will be a vagrantH5128 and a wandererH5110 on the earthH776.” 13CainH7014 saidH559 to the LordH3068, “My punishmentH5771 is tooH4480 greatH1419 to bearH5375!
