6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
6
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

It's interesting that god tells Cain he will be accepted if he does well, but how is being a farmer and sacrificing what he had not doing well? Is it his fault god doesn't like his veggies?
8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
8
9 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
9
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
10
11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
11
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
12
13 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
13
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 in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
14
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.
15
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
16
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

How did Cain build a city with just himself, his wife, and son? Why would 3 people need a city?
23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
23
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
24
25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
25
26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
