Genesis 4:5

5 but Cain and his offering didn't get his approval. Cain lost his temper and went into a sulk.

Genesis 4:5 In-Context

3 Time passed. Cain brought an offering to God from the produce of his farm.
4 Abel also brought an offering, but from the firstborn animals of his herd, choice cuts of meat. God liked Abel and his offering,
5 but Cain and his offering didn't get his approval. Cain lost his temper and went into a sulk.
6 God spoke to Cain: "Why this tantrum? Why the sulking?
7 If you do well, won't you be accepted? And if you don't do well, sin is lying in wait for you, ready to pounce; it's out to get you, you've got to master it."
