mkjv@Genesis:4:5 @ but He did not have respect to Cain and to his offering. And Cain glowed with anger, and his face fell.

mkjv@Genesis:4:6 @ And the LORD said to Cain, Why have you angrily glowed? And why did your face fall?

mkjv@Genesis:4:14 @ Behold! You have driven me out from the face of the earth today, and I shall be hidden from Your face. And I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth, and it shall be [that] anyone who finds me shall kill me.
