Genesis 16:11-12

11The angel of the Lord said to her further, “Behold, you are pregnant, And you will give birth to a son; And you shall name him 1Ishmael, Because 2the Lord has heard your affliction.12But he will be a 3wild donkey of a man; His hand will be against everyone, And everyone’s hand will be against him; And he will live 45in defiance of all his brothers.”
