Genesis 21:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ Then she went away a short distance and sat down. Hagar thought, “My son will die. I cannot watch this happen.” She sat there and began to cry.

¹⁷ God heard the boy crying. And God’s angel called to Hagar from heaven. He said, “What is wrong, Hagar? Don’t be afraid! God has heard the boy crying there. ¹⁸ Help the boy up. Take him by the hand. I will make his descendants into a great nation.”
