Genesis 4:10-20

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

10 Then He said, "What have you done? Your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground!

11 So now you are cursed [with alienation] from the ground that opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood you have shed.

12 If you work the land, it will never again give you its yield. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."

13 But Cain answered the Lord, "My punishment is too great to bear!

14 Since You are banishing me today from the soil, and I must hide myself from Your presence and become a restless wanderer on the earth, whoever finds me will kill me."

15 Then the Lord replied to him, "In that case, whoever kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over." And He placed a mark on Cain so that whoever found him would not kill him.

16 Then Cain went out from the Lord's presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

17 Cain knew his wife intimately, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. Then Cain became the builder of a city, and he named the city Enoch after his son.

18 Irad was born to Enoch, Irad fathered Mehujael, Mehujael fathered Methushael, and Methushael fathered Lamech.

19 Lamech took two wives for himself, one named Adah and the other named Zillah.

20 Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of the nomadic herdsmen.

10 The LORD said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.

11 Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”

13 Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is more than I can bear.

14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”

15 But the LORD said to him, “Not so ; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.
