23 Lamech said to his wives,

‘Adah and Zillah, listen to me;
    wives of Lamech, hear my words.
I have killed a man for wounding me,
    a young man for injuring me.
24 If Cain is avenged seven times,
    then Lamech seventy-seven times.’

25 Adam made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth,[a] saying, ‘God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.’
