Cain and Lamech To Be Avenged?

From 7/13/2009

Genesis 4:15 -- Why would the Lord protect Cain from death? ==> This is an example of God mingling justice with mercy. The justice is that Cain is under a curse and will be exiled, but the mercy is that God reassured Cain in his fears of retaliation that God would put a mark on Cain that protects him from being killed.

Genesis 4:24 -- Why would the Lord protect Lamech from death? ==> He didn't. This was just Lamech taking God's words for his own use, to justify his own actions (he just killed a man).
