9. Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" "I don't know," he replied. "Am I supposed to look after my brother?"
10. The Lord said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground.
11. "So I am putting a curse on you. I am driving you away from the ground. It has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
12. When you work the ground, it will not produce its crops for you anymore. You will be a restless person who wanders around on the earth."
13. Cain said to the Lord, "You are punishing me more than I can take.
14. Today you are driving me away from the land. I will be hidden from you. I'll be a restless person who wanders around on the earth. Anyone who finds me will kill me."
15. But the Lord said to him, "No. Anyone who kills you will be paid back seven times." The Lord put a mark on Cain. Then anyone who found him wouldn't kill him.
16. So Cain went away from the Lord. He lived in the land of Nod. It was east of Eden.
17. Cain made love to his wife. She became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. At that time Cain was building a city. He named it after his son Enoch.
