12. From now on when you till the ground, it will not yield for you its best. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”
13. Then Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear.
14. You have driven me out this day from the face of the earth, and from your face will I be hidden; and I will be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth, and it will happen that anyone who finds me will kill me.”
15. So the Lord said to him, “Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” Then the Lord put a mark upon Cain, so that no one finding him would kill him.
16. Then Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
