Genesis 16:11-13
Good News Translation
11 You are going to have a son, and you will name him Ishmael,[a] because the Lord has heard your cry of distress. 12 But your son will live like a wild donkey; he will be against everyone, and everyone will be against him. He will live apart from all his relatives.”
13 Hagar asked herself, “Have I really seen God and lived to tell about it?”[b] So she called the Lord, who had spoken to her, “A God Who Sees.”
