ὅτι ἐργᾷ τὴν γῆν, καὶ οὐ προσθήσει τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτῆς δοῦναί σοι· στένων καὶ τρέμων ἔσῃ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
στένων καὶ τρέμων, "groaning and trembling," is the LXX's own descriptive addition to the Hebrew's bare נָע וָנָד (nāʿ wānād, "a wanderer and a fugitive"); Cain's punishment is written onto his very body, not just his itinerary.
