Genesis 16:11-13
English Standard Version
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]
(A)because the Lord has listened to your affliction.
12 He shall be (B)a wild donkey of a man,
his hand against everyone
and everyone's hand against him,
and he shall dwell (C)over against all his kinsmen.”
13 So she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing,”[b] for she said, (D)“Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.”[c]
