Bible eloquence lost

 There are several times in the Bible where people talk and sound wordy, but it works well. I never hear people talk like this in today's world.

Let's have a looksie.

This isn't a great example but Cain faired better than Adam, Eve and Satan did when they said nothing. Cain whines, after murdering Abel, about the punishment, so God comes up with a way to keep Cain alive. Notice, Cain doesn't say, "this isn't fair, I hate your guts," like most people today.

 ¹³And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. ¹⁴Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. ¹⁵And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
