    4But Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering.

    5But He did not look with favor on Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face was downcast.

    6Then the LORD said to Cain, 'Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?'
