Genesis 4:10 And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood cries to me from the ground. One night in Edinburgh a person awoke to find that his house had been plundered. The alarm was raised, nor was it long ere the officers of justice found a clue. The thief, wounding his hand as he escaped by the window, had left a red witness behind him. The watchman flashed his lantern upon the spot. Drop by drop the blood stained the pavement. They tracked it on and on and ever on, till their silent guide conducted them along an open passage and up a flight of steps, stopping at the door of a house. They broke in and there they found the bleeding hand, the booty, and the pale criminal. And so unless they be forgiven, washed away in the blood of Jesus, shall your sins find you out. (T. Guthrie, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.WEB: Yahweh said, "What have you done?
