Genesis question

Pastor John,

What was Lamech trying to convey to his wives? I am having a hard time figuring it out. Is he boasting or lamenting?

Genesis 4:3-4 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.

Hi Brittany.

Lamech was boasting. Seems like an evil character to me.
