Genesis 4:3-9

3 And it came to pass that Cain brought produce from the land as an offering to Jehovah.
4 And Abel also brought an offering: the best meat from the first born of his flock. And Jehovah had respect for Abel and his offering,
5 but for Cain and his offering he had no respect. And Cain was very upset, and his countenance fell.
6 And Jehovah said to Cain, Why are you angry? and why do you look so crestfallen?
7 If you do well, won't you be uplifted? But if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. It wants to get you, but you must rule over it.
8 But Cain suggested to his brother Abel that they go for a walk in the countryside. Once there, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.
9 Later Jehovah said to Cain, "Where is Abel, your brother?"
Cain replied, "I don't know. Am I my brother's keeper?"
10 Jehovah said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries to me from the ground."

2 Chronicles 24:20-21

20 And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest. He took his stand above the people and said to them, "This is what God says: Why do you transgress the commands of Jehovah so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken Jehovah, he has also forsaken you."
21 Then they conspired against him. At the king's command, the people stoned him in the court of the house of Jehovah.
