6Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to CainH7014, “1WhyH4100 areH2734 you angryH2734? And whyH4100 isH5307 your faceH6440 2gloomyH5307? 73IfH518 you doH3190 wellH3190, 4will your face not be 5cheerfulH7613? 6And ifH518 you do not doH3190 wellH3190, sinH2403 is lurkingH7257 at the doorH6607; and its desireH8669 is for you, 7but you must masterH4910 it.” 8CainH7014 8talkedH559 to his brotherH251 AbelH1893; and it happenedH1961 that when they were in the fieldH7704 CainH7014 roseH6965 upH6965 againstH413 his brotherH251 AbelH1893 and 9killedH2026 him.

9Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to CainH7014, “10WhereH335 is AbelH1893 your brotherH251?” And he saidH559, “I do not knowH3045. Am I my brother’sH251 keeperH8104?” 10Then He saidH559, “WhatH4100 have you doneH6213? 11The voiceH6963 of your brother’sH251 bloodH1818 is cryingH6817 outH6817 to Me from the groundH127.
