“Adah and Zillah, listen to me;
    wives of Lamech, hear my words.
I have killed(A) a man for wounding me,
    a young man for injuring me.
24 If Cain is avenged(B) seven times,(C)
    then Lamech seventy-seven times.(D)

25 Adam made love to his wife(E) again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth,[a](F) saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”(G)
