Genesis 4:13-15

New Century Version

¹³ Then Cain said to the Lord, “This punishment is more than I can stand! ¹⁴ 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.”

¹⁵ 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.
