Genesis 16:5-7

5And SaraiH8297 saidH559 to AbramH87, “1May the wrongH2555 done me be upon you. I gaveH5414 my maidH8198 into your 2armsH2436, but when she sawH7200 that she had conceivedH2029, I was despisedH7043 in her 3sightH5869. 4May the LordH3068 judgeH8199 betweenH996 5you and me.” 6But AbramH87 saidH559 to SaraiH8297, “BeholdH2009, your maidH8198 is in your 6powerH3027; doH6213 to her whatH2896 is goodH2896 in your 7sightH5869.” So SaraiH8297 treatedH6031 her harshlyH6031, and 8she fledH1272 from her presenceH6440.

7Now 9the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 foundH4672 her by a springH5871 of waterH4325 in the wildernessH4057, by the springH5871 on the wayH1870 to 10ShurH7793.
