Genesis 16:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 Again the Angel of the Lord said unto her, I will so greatly increase thy seed, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
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.
