Verses of Genesis 4 of the NIV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man."
2 - Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.
3 - In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD.
4 - But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,
5 - but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
6 - Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?
7 - If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it."
8 - Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field." And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
9 - Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?"
10 - The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.
11 - Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
12 - When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."
13 - Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is more than I can bear.
14 - Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."
15 - But the LORD said to him, "Not so; if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.
16 - So Cain went out from the LORD's presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
17 - Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch.
18 - To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.
19 - Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.
20 - Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock.
21 - His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
22 - Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain's sister was Naamah.
23 - Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, listen to me; wives of Lamech, hear my words. I have killed a man for wounding me, a young man for injuring me.
24 - If Cain is avenged seven times, then Lamech seventy-seven times."
25 - Adam lay with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, "God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him."
26 - Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on the name of the LORD.
