And you will give birth to a son;
And you shall name him [a]Ishmael,

His hand will be against everyone,
And everyone’s hand will be against him;
And he will live [b](C)in defiance of all his brothers.”

13 Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “[c]You are [d]a God who sees me”; for she said, “(D)Have I even seen Him here and lived after [e]He saw me?”
