rsv@Genesis:4:10 @ And the LORD said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.
rsv@Genesis:4:11 @ And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
rsv@Genesis:4:12 @ When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth."
rsv@Genesis:4:13 @ Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.
rsv@Genesis:4:14 @ Behold, thou hast driven me this day away from the ground; and from thy face I shall be hidden; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will slay me."
rsv@Genesis:4:15 @ Then the LORD said to him, "Not so! If any one slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD put a mark on Cain, lest any who came upon him should kill him.
