Genesis 4:5 Context
3And in processe of time it came to passe, that Cain brought of the fruite of the ground, an offering vnto the LORD. 4And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flocke, and of the fat thereof: and the LORD had respect vnto Abel, and to his offering. 5But vnto Cain, and to his offring he had not respect: and Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 6And the LORD said vnto Cain, Why art thou wroth? And why is thy countenance fallen? 7If thou doe well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sinne lieth at the doore: And vnto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule ouer him.

4:5 And Cain was wroth, and his countenance fell - Not so much out of grief as malice and rage. His sullen churlish countenance, and down - look, betrayed his passionate resentment.
