4. and Abel also gave an offering to the Lord. He killed the firstborn lamb from one of his sheep and gave the Lord the best parts of it. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering,
5. but not with Cain and his offering. This made Cain so angry that he could not hide his feelings.
6. The Lord said to Cain:What's wrong with you? Why do you have such an angry look on your face?
7. If you had done the right thing, you would be smiling. 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. Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let's go for a walk.” And when they were out in a field, Cain killed him.
9. Afterwards the Lord asked Cain, “Where is Abel?”“How should I know?” he answered. “Am I supposed to look after my brother?”
10. Then the Lord said:Why have you done this terrible thing? You killed your own brother, and his blood flowed on to the ground. Now his blood is calling out for me to punish you.
