Genesis 4:5-12
5but 1for CainH7014 and his offeringH4503 He hadH8159 noH3808 regardH8159. So 2CainH7014 becameH2734 veryH3966 angryH2734 and his faceH6440 3wasH5307 gloomyH5307. 6Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to CainH7014, “4WhyH4100 areH2734 you angryH2734? And whyH4100 isH5307 your faceH6440 5gloomyH5307? 76IfH518 you doH3190 wellH3190, 7will your face not be 8cheerfulH7613? 9And ifH518 you do not doH3190 wellH3190, sinH2403 is lurkingH7257 at the doorH6607; and its desireH8669 is for you, 10but you must masterH4910 it.” 8CainH7014 11talkedH559 to his brotherH251 AbelH1893; and it happenedH1961 that when they were in the fieldH7704 CainH7014 roseH6965 upH6965 againstH413 his brotherH251 AbelH1893 and 12killedH2026 him.
9Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to CainH7014, “13WhereH335 is AbelH1893 your brotherH251?” And he saidH559, “I do not knowH3045. Am I my brother’sH251 keeperH8104?” 10Then He saidH559, “WhatH4100 have you doneH6213? 14The voiceH6963 of your brother’sH251 bloodH1818 is cryingH6817 outH6817 to Me from the groundH127. 11NowH6258 15you are cursedH779 from the groundH127, whichH834 has openedH6475 its mouthH6310 to receiveH3947 your brother’sH251 bloodH1818 from your handH3027. 1216WhenH3588 you cultivateH5647 the groundH127, it will noH3808 longerH3254 yieldH5414 its strengthH3581 to you; 17you will be a wandererH5128 and a drifterH5110 on the earthH776.”
