Genesis 4:9-14
9Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to CainH7014, “1WhereH335 is AbelH1893 your brotherH251?” And he saidH559, “I do not knowH3045. Am I my brother’sH251 keeperH8104?”
10He saidH559, “WhatH4100 have you doneH6213? 2The voiceH6963 of your brother’sH251 bloodH1818 is cryingH6817 to Me from the groundH127.
11NowH6258 3you are cursedH779 from the groundH127, whichH834 has openedH6475 its mouthH6310 to receiveH3947 your brother’sH251 bloodH1818 from your handH3027.
124WhenH3588 you cultivateH5647 the groundH127, it will noH3808 longerH3254 yieldH5414 its strengthH3581 to you; 5you will be a vagrantH5128 and a wandererH5110 on the earthH776.”
13CainH7014 saidH559 to the LordH3068, “My punishmentH5771 is tooH4480 greatH1419 to bearH5375!
14BeholdH2005, You have 6drivenH1644 me this dayH3117 from the faceH6440 of the groundH127; and from Your faceH6440 I will be hiddenH5641, and 7I will be a vagrantH5128 and a wandererH5110 on the earthH776, and 8whoeverH3605 findsH4672 me will killH2026 me.”
