Genesis 4:14-16
English Standard Version Anglicised
14 Behold, (A)you have driven me today away from the ground, and (B)from your face I shall be hidden. I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, (C)and whoever finds me will kill me.” 15 Then the Lord said to him, “Not so! If anyone kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him (D)sevenfold.” And the Lord (E)put a mark on Cain, lest any who found him should attack him. 16 Then Cain went away from the presence of the Lord and settled in the land of Nod,[a] east of Eden.

New International Version
14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence;(A) I will be a restless wanderer on the earth,(B) and whoever finds me will kill me.”(C)
15 But the Lord said to him, “Not so[a]; anyone who kills Cain(D) will suffer vengeance(E) seven times over.(F)” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence(G) and lived in the land of Nod,[b] east of Eden.(H)
