Genesis 4:23-25
American Standard Version
23 And Lamech said unto his wives:
Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;
Ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech:
For [a]I have slain a man [b]for wounding me,
And a young man for bruising me:
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold,
Truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name [c]Seth: For, said she, God [d]hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel; for Cain slew him.
