Genesis 4:13 in Context — Genesis 4

11 Ahora pues, maldito seas tú de la tierra que abrió su boca para recibir la sangre de tu hermano de tu mano:

12 Cuando labrares la tierra, no te volverá á dar su fuerza: errante y extranjero serás en la tierra.

13 Y dijo Caín á Jehová: Grande es mi iniquidad para ser perdonada.

14 He aquí me echas hoy de la faz de la tierra, y de tu presencia me esconderé; y seré errante y extranjero en la tierra; y sucederá que cualquiera que me hallare, me matará.

15 Y respondióle Jehová: Cierto que cualquiera que matare á Caín, siete veces será castigado. Entonces Jehová puso señal en Caín, para que no lo hiriese cualquiera que le hallara.
