And shee sate ouer against him, and lift vp her voice, and wept. 17And God heard the voice of the lad, and the Angel of God called to Hagar out of heauen, and said vnto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? feare not: for God hath heard the voice of the ladde, where he is. 18Arise, lift vp the lad, and hold him in thine hand: for I will make him a great nation. 19And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water, and shee went, and filled the bottle with water, and gaue the lad drinke. 20And God was with the lad, and he grew, and dwelt in the wildernesse, and became an archer.
