— Genesis 4:12, American King James Version
“When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.”
“when thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee its strength; a fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be in the earth. ”
“From now on, when you till the ground, it won't yield its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth."”
“When you try to cultivate the ground it will no longer yield its best for you. You will be a homeless wanderer on the earth.””
“When thou shalt till it, it shall not yield to thee its fruit: a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be upon the earth.”
“No longer will the earth give you her fruit as the reward of your work; you will be a wanderer in flight over the earth.”
“When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.”
And the LORD said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.
And now are you cursed from the earth, which has opened her mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand;
When you till the ground, it shall not from now on yield to you her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shall you be in the earth.
And Cain said to the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Behold, you have driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from your face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that finds me shall slay me.
And the LORD said to him, Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. ¶
