Genesis 4:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Now therefore thou art cursed [a]from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thine hand.
12 When thou shalt till the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength: a [b]vagabond and a runagate shalt thou be in the earth.
13 Then Cain said to the Lord, [c][d]My punishment is greater than I can bear.
