Genesis 4 11:15
11: And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand.

13: And Cain said unto the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14: Behold, Thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth, and from Thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth. And it shall come to pass that every one who findeth me shall slay me.”
15: And the Lord said unto him, “Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
