Genesis 4:13-21 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

13. And Cain said to the Lord: My iniquity is greater than that I may deserve pardon.

14. Behold thou dost cast me out this day from the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from thy face, and I shall be a vagabond and a fugitive on the earth: everyone, therefore, that findeth me, shall kill me.

15. And the Lord said to him: No, it shall not be so: but whosoever shall kill Cain, shall be punished sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, that whosoever found him should not kill him.

16. And Cain went out from the face of the Lord, and dwelt as a fugitive on the earth, at the east side of Eden.

17. And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and brought forth Henoch: and he built a city, and called the name thereof by the name of his son Henoch.

18. And Henoch begot Irad, and Irad begot Maviael, and Maviael begot Mathusael, and Mathusael begot Lamech:

19. Who took two wives: the name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other was Sella.

20. And Ada brought forth Jabel: who was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of herdsmen.

21. And his brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of them that play upon the harp and the organs.
