Genesis 21:14-16
Legacy Standard Bible
14 So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a [a]skin of water and gave them to Hagar, putting them on her shoulder, and gave her the child, and sent her away. So she went and wandered about in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 When the water in the skin was finished, she [b]put the child under one of the bushes. 16 Then she went and sat down opposite him, about a bowshot away, for she said, “Do not let me [c]see when the child dies.” And she sat opposite him and (A)lifted up her voice and wept.

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)
