Genesis 4:13-15

New International Reader's Version

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.
