(A)Abel, on his part also brought an offering, from the firstborn of his flock and from their fat portions. And (B)the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering; but (C)for Cain and his offering He had no regard. So (D)Cain became very angry and his face [a]was gloomy. Then the Lord said to Cain, “(E)Why are you angry? And why is your face [b]gloomy? (F)If you do well, [c]will your face not be [d]cheerful? (G)And if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the door; and its desire is for you, (H)but you must master it.”
