Nutshell:
‌With a Half-Hearted Devotion to God, you will turn away from Him and toward sin and Satan. Without repentance, rebellion always increases, resulting in more sin and greater separation from God.

Genesis 4:17–24 (NLT)
17 Cain had sexual relations with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Then Cain founded a city, which he named Enoch, after his son. 18 Enoch had a son named Irad. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.
‌
19 Lamech married two women. The first was named Adah, and the second was Zillah. 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the first of those who raise livestock and live in tents. 21 His brother’s name was Jubal, the first of all who play the harp and flute. 22 Lamech’s other wife, Zillah, gave birth to a son named Tubal-cain. He became an expert in forging tools of bronze and iron. Tubal-cain had a sister named Naamah.

23 One day Lamech said to his wives,
‌“Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;
‌listen to me, you wives of Lamech.
‌I have killed a man who attacked me,
‌a young man who wounded me.
‌24 If someone who kills Cain is punished seven times,
‌then the one who kills me will be punished seventy-seven times!”
