23 Lamech said to his wives,

“Adah and Zillah,
Listen to my voice,
You wives of Lamech,
Pay attention to my words,
(A)For I have killed a man for wounding me;
And a boy for striking me!
24 If Cain is avenged (B)seven times,
Then Lamech seventy-seven times!”

25 (C)Adam [a]had relations with his wife again; and she gave birth to a son, and named him [b]Seth, for, she said, “God [c]has appointed me another [d]child in place of Abel, (D)because Cain killed him.”
