Genesis 4:9-13 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

9. And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? And he answered, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?

10. And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth to me from the earth.

11. Now, therefore, cursed shalt thou be upon the earth, which hath opened her mouth and received the blood of thy brother at thy hand,

12. When thou shalt till it, it shall not yield to thee its fruit: a fugitive and vagabond shalt thou be upon the earth.

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