- And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
- And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
- Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
- And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
- And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

- Then she went off and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she thought, "I cannot watch the boy die." And as she sat there nearby, she began to sob.
- God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.
- Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation."
- Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
- God was with the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became an archer.
