6. The Lord asked Cain, “Why are you angry? Why do you look so unhappy?
7. If you do good, I will accept you. But if you do not do good, sin is ready to attack you. Sin wants you. But you must rule over it.”
8. Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out into the field.” So Cain and Abel went into the field. Then Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
9. Later, the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”Cain answered, “I don’t know. Is it my job to take care of my brother?”
10. Then the Lord said, “What have you done? Your brother’s blood is on the ground. That blood is like a voice that tells me what happened.
11. And now you will be cursed in your work with the ground. It is the same ground where your brother’s blood fell. Your hands killed him.
12. You will work the ground. But it will not grow good crops for you anymore. You will wander around on the earth.”
