Genesis 4:12 in Context — Genesis 4
10 E ele lhe disse: Que fizeste? A voz do sangue do teu irmão clama a mim desde a terra.
11 Agora, pois, maldito sejas tu da terra que abriu sua boca para receber o sangue de teu irmão de tua mão:
12 Quando lavrares a terra, não te voltará a dar sua força: errante e fugitivo serás na terra.
13 E disse Caim ao SENHOR: Grande é minha iniquidade para ser perdoada.
14 Eis que me expulsas hoje da face da terra, e de tua presença me esconderei; e serei errante e fugitivo na terra; e sucederá que qualquer um que me achar, me matará.
