So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is [a]for you, but you should rule over it.”

Now Cain [b]talked with Abel his [c]brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and (A)killed him.

Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?”

He said, (B)“I do not know. Am I (C)my brother’s keeper?”

10 And He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood (D)cries out to Me from the ground. 11 So now (E)you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth.”

13 And Cain said to the Lord, “My [d]punishment is greater than I can bear! 14 Surely You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; (F)I shall be (G)hidden from Your face; I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, and it will happen that (H)anyone who finds me will kill me.”

Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry?(A) Why is your face downcast? 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;(B) it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.(C)

Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”[a] While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.(D)

Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”(E)

“I don’t know,(F)” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
