nkjv Genesis:4:8-23
nkjv@Genesis:4:8 @ Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.
nkjv@Genesis:4:9 @ Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"
nkjv@Genesis:4:10 @ And He said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground.
nkjv@Genesis:4:11 @ So now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
nkjv@Genesis:4:12 @ 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."
nkjv@Genesis:4:13 @ And Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can bear!
nkjv@Genesis:4:14 @ 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."
nkjv@Genesis:4:15 @ And the LORD said to him, "Therefore, 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.
nkjv@Genesis:4:16 @ Then Cain went out from the presence of the LORD and dwelt in the land of Nod on the east of Eden.
nkjv@Genesis:4:17 @ 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.
nkjv@Genesis:4:18 @ To Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael, and Methushael begot Lamech.
nkjv@Genesis:4:19 @ Then Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah.
nkjv@Genesis:4:20 @ And Adah bore Jabal. He was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
nkjv@Genesis:4:21 @ His brother's name was Jubal. He was the father of all those who play the harp and flute.
nkjv@Genesis:4:22 @ And as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.
nkjv@Genesis:4:23 @ Then Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, listen to my speech! For I have killed a man for wounding me, Even a young man for hurting me.
