Genesis 21:16-18

New Life Version

¹⁶ Then she sat down as far away from him as an arrow flies. For she said, “Do not let me see the boy die.” As she sat there, she cried a loud cry. ¹⁷ But God heard the voice of the boy. Then the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and said, “Why are you so troubled, Hagar? Do not be afraid. For God has heard the cry of the boy. ¹⁸ Get up. Lift up the boy and hold him by the hand. For I will make a great nation of him.”
