And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
And El Shaddai bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
