11 The angel of the Lord said to her further,

“Behold, you are pregnant,
And you will give birth to a son;
And you shall name him [a]Ishmael,
Because (A)the Lord has heard your affliction.
12 But 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 live [b](C)in defiance of all his brothers.”
