Genesis 21:16-19 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

16. Then she went away a short distance and sat down. Hagar thought, “My son will die. I cannot watch this happen.” She sat there and began to cry.

17. God heard the boy crying. And God’s angel called to Hagar from heaven. He said, “What is wrong, Hagar? Don’t be afraid! God has heard the boy crying there.

18. Help the boy up. Take him by the hand. I will make his descendants into a great nation.”

19. Then God showed Hagar a well of water. So she went to the well and filled her bag with water. Then she gave the boy a drink.
