New International Version

⁹ Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”^(A)

“I don’t know,^(B)” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

¹⁰ The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.^{(C) 11} Now you are under a curse^(D) and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
