12. You will work the ground, but it will not grow good crops for you anymore, and you will wander around on the earth.”
13. Then Cain said to the Lord, “This punishment is more than I can stand!
14. Today you have forced me to stop working the ground, and now I must hide from you. I must wander around on the earth, and anyone who meets me can kill me.”
15. The Lord said to Cain, “No! If anyone kills you, I will punish that person seven times more.” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain warning anyone who met him not to kill him.
16. So Cain went away from the Lord and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
17. He had sexual relations with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. At that time Cain was building a city, which he named after his son Enoch.
18. Enoch had a son named Irad, Irad had a son named Mehujael, Mehujael had a son named Methushael, and Methushael had a son named Lamech.
19. Lamech married two women, Adah and Zillah.
20. Adah gave birth to Jabal, who became the first person to live in tents and raise cattle.
21. Jabal’s brother was Jubal, the first person to play the harp and flute.
