15 When the water in the bottle was gone, she put the boy under a bush.
16 Then she went off and sat down nearby. She was about as far away as a person can shoot an arrow. She thought, "I can't stand to watch the boy die." As she sat nearby, she began to sob.
17 God heard the boy crying. Then the angel of God called out to Hagar from heaven. He said to her, "What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid. God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.
18 Lift the boy up. Take him by the hand. I will make him into a great nation."
19 Then God opened Hagar's eyes. She saw a well of water. So she went and filled the bottle with water. And she gave the boy a drink.
20 God was with the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and learned to shoot with a bow.
21 While he was living in the Desert of Paran, his mother got him a wife from Egypt.
