The angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to (A)Shur. And he said, “Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?” She said, “I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai.” The angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress and submit to her.” 10 The angel of the Lord also said to her, (B)“I will surely multiply your offspring so that they cannot be numbered for multitude.” 11 And the angel of the Lord said to her,

“Behold, you are pregnant
    and shall bear a son.
You shall call his name Ishmael,[a]
    (C)because the Lord has listened to your affliction.
12 He shall be (D)a wild donkey of a man,
    his hand against everyone
    and everyone's hand against him,
and he shall dwell (E)over against all his kinsmen.”
