← Genesis 21:15	Genesis 21:16 (KJV)	Genesis 21:17 →
And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.	And she went, and sat her down over against [him] a good way off, as it were a bowshot: 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].
