7. If you had done the right thing, you would be smiling; but because you have done evil, sin is crouching at your door. It wants to rule you, but you must overcome it.”
8. Then Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let's go out in the fields.” When they were out in the fields, Cain turned on his brother and killed him.
9. The Lord asked Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”He answered, “I don't know. Am I supposed to take care of my brother?”
10. Then the Lord said, “Why have you done this terrible thing? Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground, like a voice calling for revenge.
11. You are placed under a curse and can no longer farm the soil. It has soaked up your brother's blood as if it had opened its mouth to receive it when you killed him.
12. If you try to grow crops, the soil will not produce anything; you will be a homeless wanderer on the earth.”
13. And Cain said to the Lord, “This punishment is too hard for me to bear.
14. You are driving me off the land and away from your presence. I will be a homeless wanderer on the earth, and anyone who finds me will kill me.”
15. But the Lord answered, “No. If anyone kills you, seven lives will be taken in revenge.” So the Lord put a mark on Cain to warn anyone who met him not to kill him.
16. And Cain went away from the Lord's presence and lived in a land called “Wandering”, which is east of Eden.
17. Cain and his wife had a son and named him Enoch. Then Cain built a city and named it after his son.
18. Enoch had a son named Irad, who was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael had a son named Methushael, who was the father of Lamech.
19. Lamech had two wives, Adah and Zillah.
20. Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the ancestor of those who raise livestock and live in tents.
21. His brother was Jubal, the ancestor of all musicians who play the harp and the flute.
