Genesis 4:13-15

Living Bible

¹³ Cain replied to the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear. 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.
