Genesis 4:14-16

Common English Bible

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. ¹⁶ Cain left the Lord’s presence, and he settled down in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
