Genesis 4:5-8

5but 1for Cain and his offering He had no regard. So 2Cain became very angry and his face 3was gloomy. 6Then the Lord said to Cain, “4Why are you angry? And why is your face 5gloomy? 76If you do well, 7will your face not be 8cheerful? 9And if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the door; and its desire is for you, 10but you must master it.” 8Cain 11talked to his brother Abel; and it happened that when they were in the field Cain rose up against his brother Abel and 12killed him.
