6 The Lord said to Cain:
What's wrong with you? Why do you look so angry? 7 If you had done the right thing, you would be smiling.[a] But you did the wrong thing, and now sin is waiting to attack you like a lion. Sin wants to destroy you, but don't let it!
8 (A) Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let's go for a walk.”[b] And when they were out in a field, Cain attacked and killed him.
