¹⁴ Behold, you have driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.”

KJVBehold, thou hast driven me out^H1644^(H8765) this day^H3117 from the face^H6440 of the earth^H127; and from^H5921 thy face^H6440 shall I be hid^H5641^(H8735); and I shall be a fugitive^H5128^(H8801) and a vagabond^H5110^(H8802) in the earth^H776; and it shall come to pass^H1961^(H8804), that every one that findeth me^H4672^(H8802) shall slay me^H2026^(H8799).
