Genesis 16:11-12

11The angel of the Lord said to her further, “Behold, you are with child, And you will bear a son; And you shall call his name 1Ishmael, Because 2the Lord 3has given heed to your affliction.12He will be a 4wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone’s hand will be against him; And he will 5live 6 7to the east of all his brothers.”
