Genesis 16:11-13
American Standard Version
11 And the angel of Jehovah said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son; and thou shalt call his name [a]Ishmael, because Jehovah hath heard thy affliction. 12 And he shall be as a wild ass among men; his hand shall be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell [b]over against all his brethren. 13 And she called the name of Jehovah that spake unto her, [c]Thou art [d]a God that seeth: for she said, Have I even here looked after him that seeth me?
