Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 But Cain answered the Lord, “My punishment[a] is too great to bear! 14 Since You are banishing me today from the soil, and I must hide myself from Your presence and become a restless wanderer on the earth, whoever finds me will kill me.”(A)
15 Then the Lord replied to him, “In that case,[b] whoever kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.”[c] And He placed a mark(B) on Cain so that whoever found him would not kill him.
