Genesis 4:10 And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood cries to me from the ground. The Rev. Rowland Hill, preaching on one occasion from this text at Cowes, began his sermon as follows: "In my way to your island, I visited the county jail at Winchester, and there I saw many who were accused of heavy crimes, but who seemed careless and indifferent, and to have but little sense of their awful situation. But one young man attracted my attention: he kept separate from the rest, and seemed very much troubled. I went up to him and said, "And what have you done, young man?" "Sir," said he, deeply affected, "I have done that which I cannot undo, and which has undone me." This, my dear friends, said the minister, "is the situation of every one of you. You have each of you done that which has undone you, and which you cannot undo." 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?
