Genesis 4:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear. ¹⁴ Now that you’ve driven me away from the fertile land and I am hidden from your presence, I’m about to become a roving nomad on the earth, and anyone who finds me will kill me.”

¹⁵ The Lord said to him, “It won’t happen;^[a] anyone who kills Cain will be paid back seven times.” The Lord put a sign on Cain so that no one who found him would assault him.
