When the water in the skin was used up, she ^(F1)left the boy under one of the bushes.

Then she went and sat down opposite him, about a bowshot away, for she said, "May I not ^(F1)see the boy die!" And she sat opposite him, and ^(C1)raised her voice and wept.

God ^(C1)heard the boy crying; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "^(F1)What is the matter with you, Hagar? ^(C2)Do not fear, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.

"Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him by ^(F1)the hand, ^(C1)for I will make a great nation of him."

Then God ^(C1)opened her eyes, and she saw ^(C2)a well of water; and she went and filled the ^(F1)skin with water and gave the boy a drink.

And ^(C1)God was with the boy, and he grew; and he lived in the wilderness and became an archer.

^(C1)He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
