Genesis 4:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? And he answered, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?

¹⁰ And he said to him: What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth to me from the earth.

¹¹ Now, therefore, cursed shalt thou be upon the earth, which hath opened her mouth and received the blood of thy brother at thy hand.
