Genesis 5:32 - Genesis 5:42
32 And Zillah, she also bare Tubal Cain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron; and the sister of Tubal Cain was called Naamah.
33 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.
34 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech shall be seventy and sevenfold.
35 For, Lamech having entered into a covenant with Satan, after the manner of Cain, wherein he became Master Mahan, master of that great secret which was administered unto Cain by Satan;
36 And Irad, the son of Enoch, having known their secret, began to reveal it unto the sons of Adam; wherefore, Lamech, being angry, slew him, not like unto Cain his brother Abel for the sake of getting gain; but he slew him for the oath's sake;
37 For, from the days of Cain, there was a secret combination, and their works were in the dark, and they knew every man his brother.
38 Wherefore the Lord cursed Lamech and his house, and all they that had covenanted with Satan; for they kept not the commandments of God. And it displeased God, and he ministered not unto them.
39 And their works were abominations, and began to spread among all the sons of men. And it was among the sons of men.
40 And among the daughters of men, these things were not spoken; because that Lamech had spoken the secret unto his wives, and they rebelled against him, and declared these things abroad, and had not compassion.
41 Wherefore Lamech was despised, and cast out, and came not among the sons of men, lest he should die.
42 And thus the works of darkness began to prevail among all the sons of men.
