Genesis 17:18-21

New American Standard Bible

¹⁸ And Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before You!” ¹⁹ But God said, “No, but your wife Sarah will bear you ^(A)a son, and you shall name him ^[a]Isaac; and ^(B)I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his ^[b]descendants after him. ²⁰ As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I will bless him, and ^(C)make him fruitful and multiply him exceedingly. ^(D)He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him into a ^(E)great nation. ²¹ But I will establish My covenant with ^(F)Isaac, whom ^(G)Sarah will bear to you at this season next year.”
