Genesis 16:9-13

9Then the angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself 1to her authority.” 10Moreover, the 2angel of the Lord said to her, “3I will greatly multiply your 4descendants so that 5they will be too many to count.” 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 6Ishmael, Because 7the Lord 8has given heed to your affliction.12He will be a 9wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone’s hand will be against him; And he will 10live 1112to the east of all his brothers.” 13Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “13You are 14a God who sees”; for she said, “15Have I even 16remained alive here after seeing Him?”
