Genesis 16:11-13
Young's Literal Translation
11 and the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Behold thou [art] conceiving, and bearing a son, and hast called his name Ishmael, for Jehovah hath hearkened unto thine affliction;
12 and he is a wild-ass man, his hand against every one, and every one's hand against him -- and before the face of all his brethren he dwelleth.'
13 And she calleth the name of Jehovah who is speaking unto her, `Thou [art], O God, my beholder;' for she said, `Even here have I looked behind my beholder?'

Genesis 16:11-13
New International Version
11 The angel of the Lord(A) also said to her:
“You are now pregnant
and you will give birth to a son.(B)
You shall name him(C) Ishmael,[a](D)
for the Lord has heard of your misery.(E)
12 He will be a wild donkey(F) of a man;
his hand will be against everyone
and everyone’s hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
toward[b] all his brothers.(G)”
13 She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,(H)” for she said, “I have now seen[c] the One who sees me.”(I)
