Genesis 16:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 ¶ And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her dame was [a]despised in her eyes.
5 Then Sarai said to Abram, [b]Thou doest me wrong, I have given my maid into thy bosom, and she seeth that she hath conceived, and I am despised in her eyes: the Lord judge between me and thee.
6 Then Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine [c]hand: do with her as it pleaseth thee. Then Sarai dealt roughly with her: wherefore she fled from her.
