Genesis 16:12-14
New Living Translation
12 This son of yours will be a wild man, as untamed as a wild donkey! He will raise his fist against everyone, and everyone will be against him. Yes, he will live in open hostility against all his relatives.”
13 Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the Lord, who had spoken to her. She said, “You are the God who sees me.”[a] She also said, “Have I truly seen the One who sees me?” 14 So that well was named Beer-lahai-roi (which means “well of the Living One who sees me”). It can still be found between Kadesh and Bered.

13 She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,(C)” for she said, “I have now seen[b] the One who sees me.”(D) 14 That is why the well(E) was called Beer Lahai Roi[c];(F) it is still there, between Kadesh(G) and Bered.
