Genesis 21:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And she went her way, and sat over against him a great way off as far as a bow can carry, for she said: I will not see the boy die: and sitting over against, she lifted up her voice and wept.

¹⁷ And God heard the voice of the boy: and an angel of God called to Agar from heaven, saying: What art thou doing, Agar? fear not: for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from the place wherein he is.

¹⁸ Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand: for I will make him a great nation.
