Genesis 4:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ The Lord said to Cain:

What's wrong with you? Why do you look so angry? ⁷ If you had done the right thing, you would be smiling.^[a] But you did the wrong thing, and now sin is waiting to attack you like a lion. Sin wants to destroy you, but don't let it!

^8 (A) Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let's go for a walk.”^[b] And when they were out in a field, Cain attacked and killed him.
