Genesis 16:10-12
International Standard Version
10 The angel of the Lord also told her, “I will greatly multiply your offspring, who will be too many to count.
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.”
