10 The angel of the Lord also said, “From you will come many people—too many people to count.”

11 Then the angel of the Lord said,

“Hagar, you are now pregnant,
    and you will have a son.
You will name him Ishmael,[a]
    because the Lord has heard that you were treated badly.
12 Ishmael will be wild and free
    like a wild donkey.
He will be against everyone,
    and everyone will be against him.
He will move from place to place
    and camp near his brothers.”
