16 Then she went and sat down by herself across from him at quite a distance, about a bowshot away; for she thought, |I refuse to watch the child die.| So she sat across from him and wept uncontrollably. Then she went and sat down opposite him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot, for she said, “Let me not look on the death of the child.” And as she sat opposite him, she lifted up her voice and wept. Then she went off and sat down about a bowshot away, for she thought, “I cannot watch the boy die.” And as she sat there, she began to sob.
17 But God heard the boy's voice. The angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and asked her, |What is the matter, Hagar? Don't be afraid, for God has heard the boy's voice right where he is crying. And God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.
