9 L’Éternel dit à Caïn: Où est ton frère Abel? Il répondit: Je ne sais pas; suis-je le gardien de mon frère?

10 Et Dieu dit: Qu’as-tu fait? La voix du sang de ton frère crie de la terre jusqu’à moi.

11 Maintenant, tu seras maudit de la terre qui a ouvert sa bouche pour recevoir de ta main le sang de ton frère.

12 Quand tu cultiveras le sol, il ne te donnera plus sa richesse. Tu seras errant et vagabond sur la terre.

13 Caïn dit à l’Éternel: Mon châtiment est trop grand pour être supporté.
