10 And
he said, “What have you done? The voice
of your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.
11 “So
now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your
brother’s blood from your hand.
12 “When
you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the
earth.”
13
And Cain said to the Lord, “My
punishment is greater than I can bear!
14 “Surely
You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; I shall be hidden
from Your face; I shall be a fugitive
and a vagabond on the earth, and it will happen that anyone who finds me will
kill me.”
15 And
the Lord said to him, “There, whoever
kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the Lord set a mark on Cain, lest anyone
finding him should kill him.
16 Then
Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod on the
east of Eden.
17 And
Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of
the city after the name of his son—Enoch.
