Good News Translation
14 Early the next morning Abraham gave Hagar some food and a leather bag full of water. He put the child on her back and sent her away. She left and wandered about in the wilderness of Beersheba. 15 When the water was all gone, she left the child under a bush 16 and sat down about a hundred yards away. She said to herself, “I can't bear to see my child die.” While she was sitting there, she[a] began to cry.

Genesis 21:14-16
New International Version
14 Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar.(A) He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the Desert of Beersheba.(B)
15 When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes. 16 Then she went off and sat down about a bowshot away, for she thought, “I cannot watch the boy die.” And as she sat there, she[a] began to sob.(C)
