Genesis 16:11-13
International Standard Version

11 “Look, you are pregnant and will give birth to a son,” the angel of the Lord continued to say to her. “You will name him Ishmael,[a] because the Lord has heard your cry of[b] misery. 12 As a man, he’ll be uncontrollable.[c] He’ll[d] be against everyone, everyone will be against him,[e]and he’ll live in conflict with[f] all of his relatives.”

13 So she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are ‘God who sees,’ because I have truly seen the one who looks after me.”
