Genesis 4:14-16
International Standard Version
14 “You’re driving me from the soil[a] today. I’ll be hidden from you, and I’ll wander throughout the earth as a fugitive. In the future,[b] whoever finds me will kill me.”
15 The Lord told him, “This won’t happen, because whoever kills you[c] will suffer seven times the vengeance.” Then the Lord placed a sign on Cain so that no one finding him would kill him. 16 After this, Cain left the presence of the Lord and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence;(A) I will be a restless wanderer on the earth,(B) and whoever finds me will kill me.”(C)
15 But the Lord said to him, “Not so[a]; anyone who kills Cain(D) will suffer vengeance(E) seven times over.(F)” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence(G) and lived in the land of Nod,[b] east of Eden.(H)
