Genesis 16:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Also the Angel of the Lord said unto her, See, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael: for the Lord hath heard thy tribulation.
12 And he shall be a [a]wild man: his hand shall be against every man, and every man’s hand against him, (A)and [b]he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
13 Then she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God lookest on me: for she said, [c]Have I not also here looked after him that seeth me?
