歌词
Because she would be the mother of all living，
Adam called his wife's name Eve.
And they did make coats of skins, and clothed them.
And Adam knew Eve his wife;
and she conceived, and bare Cain,
and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
And she again bare his brother Abel.
And Abel was a keeper of sheep,
but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
And in process of time it came to pass,
that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD .
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock.
And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect.
And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth?
and why is thy countenance fallen?
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?
and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.
Now it came to pass, when they were in the field,
that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
And the LORD said unto Cain,
Where is Abel thy brother?
And he said, I know not:
Am I my brother's keeper?
And God said, What hast thou done?
the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
And now art thou cursed from the earth,
which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
When thou tillest the ground,
it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength;
a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
And Cain said unto the LORD ,
My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth;
and from thy face shall I be hid;
and I shall be a fugitive
and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain,
vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.
And the LORD set a mark upon Cain,
lest any finding him should kill him.
And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD ,
and dwelt in the land of Nod,
on the east of Eden.
