Genesis 4:13-15

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹³ But Cain answered the Lord, ‘My punishment^[a] is too great to bear! ¹⁴ Since you are banishing me today from the face of the earth, and I must hide from your presence and become a restless wanderer on the earth, whoever finds me will kill me.’^(A)

¹⁵ Then the Lord replied to him, ‘In that case,^[b] whoever kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.’ And he placed a mark^(B) on Cain so that whoever found him would not kill him.
