Genesis 16:11-13
New American Standard Bible 1995
11 The angel of the Lord said to her further,
“Behold, you are with child,
And you will bear a son;
And you shall call his name [a]Ishmael,
Because (A)the Lord [b]has given heed to your affliction.
12 “He will be a (B)wild donkey of a man,
His hand will be against everyone,
And everyone’s hand will be against him;
And he will [c]live [d](C)to the east of all his brothers.”
13 Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “[e]You are [f]a God who sees”; for she said, “(D)Have I even [g]remained alive here after seeing Him?”
