10 Then the Angel of the Lord said to her, (A)“I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude.” 11 And the Angel of the Lord said to her:

“Behold, you are with child,
(B)And you shall bear a son.
You shall call his name [a]Ishmael,
Because the Lord has heard your affliction.
12 (C)He shall be a wild man;
His hand shall be against every man,
And every man’s hand against him.
(D)And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”
