Genesis 4:3-7
New American Standard Bible 1995
3 So it came about [a]in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the Lord of the fruit of the ground. 4 (A)Abel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And (B)the Lord had regard for Abel and for his offering; 5 but (C)for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. So (D)Cain became very angry and his countenance fell. 6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “(E)Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 (F)If you do well, [b]will not your countenance be lifted up? (G)And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, (H)but you must master it.”

Genesis 4:3-7
New International Version
3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering(A) to the Lord.(B) 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions(C) from some of the firstborn of his flock.(D) The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering,(E) 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry?(F) Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door;(G) it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.(H)”
