^{9 Ref} And the Lord said to Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he said, I have no idea: am I my brother's keeper?

^{10 Ref} And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the earth.

^{11 Ref} And now you are cursed from the earth, whose mouth is open to take your brother's blood from your hand;

^{12 Ref} No longer will the earth give you her fruit as the reward of your work; you will be a wanderer in flight over the earth.

^{13 Ref} And Cain said, My punishment is greater than my strength.

^{14 Ref} You have sent me out this day from the face of the earth and from before your face; I will be a wanderer in flight over the earth, and whoever sees me will put me to death.
