^{9 Ref} And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?

^{10 Ref} And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

^{11 Ref} And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

^{12 Ref} When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

^{13 Ref} And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

^{14 Ref} Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
