Then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; (C)kings of peoples will [c]come from her.” 17 Then Abraham (D)fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Will a child be born to a man a hundred years old? And (E)will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth to a child?” 18 And Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before You!”
