Genesis 4:13-16

Genesis 4:13-16 NCV

Then Cain said to the LORD, “This punishment is more than I can stand! Today you have forced me to stop working the ground, and now I must hide from you. I must wander around on the earth, and anyone who meets me can kill me.” The LORD said to Cain, “No! If anyone kills you, I will punish that person seven times more.” Then the LORD put a mark on Cain warning anyone who met him not to kill him. So Cain went away from the LORD and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
