Genesis 16:10-12
Living Bible
9-12 The Angel: “Return to your mistress and act as you should, for I will make you into a great nation. Yes, you are pregnant and your baby will be a son, and you are to name him Ishmael (‘God hears’), because God has heard your woes. This son of yours will be a wild one—free and untamed as a wild ass! He will be against everyone, and everyone will feel the same toward him. But he will live near the rest of his kin.”

You shall name him(D) Ishmael,[a](E)
for the Lord has heard of your misery.(F)

and he will live in hostility
toward[b] all his brothers.(H)”
