Genesis 4:18-24

New American Standard Bible

¹⁸Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad fathered Mehujael, and Mehujael fathered Methushael, and Methushael fathered Lamech. ¹⁹Lamech took ^(A)two wives for himself: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other, Zillah. ²⁰Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and have livestock. ²¹His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and flute. ²²As for Zillah, she also gave birth to Tubal-cain, the forger of all implements of bronze and iron; and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

²³Lamech said to his wives,

“Adah and Zillah,
Listen to my voice,
You wives of Lamech,
Pay attention to my words,
^(B)For I have killed a man for wounding me;
And a boy for striking me!
²⁴If Cain is avenged ^(C)seven times,
Then Lamech seventy-seven times!”
