Genesis 4:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ For you have banished me from my farm and from you, and made me a fugitive and a tramp; and everyone who sees me will try to kill me.”

¹⁵ The Lord replied, “They won’t kill you, for I will give seven times your punishment to anyone who does.” Then the Lord put an identifying mark on Cain as a warning not to kill him. ¹⁶ So Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
