Genesis 16:12-14
New American Standard Bible
12 But he will be a (A)wild donkey of a man;
His hand will be against everyone,
And everyone’s hand will be against him;
And he will live [a](B)in defiance of all his brothers.”
13 Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “[b]You are [c]a God who sees me”; for she said, “(C)Have I even seen Him here and lived after [d]He saw me?” 14 Therefore the well was called [e]Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between (D)Kadesh and Bered.
