Genesis 4:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ Then the Lord said to Cain, ‘Where is Abel, your brother?’ Cain replied, ‘I do not know where he is. Must I always keep my brother safe?’

¹⁰ Then the Lord God said, ‘Why have you done this bad thing? Now your brother's blood is lying there on the ground. That is like his voice which is shouting to me for help. ¹¹ The ground received your brother's blood when you killed him. As a result, the ground no longer accepts you. It has brought a curse on you.
