    3And in processe of time it came to passe, that Kain brought an oblation vnto the Lorde of the fruite of the ground.

    4And Habel also him selfe brought of the first fruites of his sheepe, and of the fat of them, and the Lorde had respect vnto Habel, and to his offering,

    5But vnto Kain and to his offering he had no regarde: wherefore Kain was exceeding wroth, and his countenance fell downe.

    6Then ye Lord said vnto Kain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance cast downe?

    14Behold, thou hast cast me out this day fro the earth, and from thy face shall I be hid, and shalbe a vagabond, and a runnagate in the earth, and whosoeuer findeth me, shall slay me.
