创世记21:1-21

1耶和华按着先前的话眷顾撒拉，便照他所说的给撒拉成就。2当亚伯拉罕年老的时候，撒拉怀了孕，到　神所说的日期，就给亚伯拉罕生了一个儿子。3亚伯拉罕给撒拉所生的儿子起名叫以撒。4以撒生下来第八日，亚伯拉罕照着　神所吩咐的，给以撒行了割礼。5他儿子以撒生的时候，亚伯拉罕年一百岁。6撒拉说：“　神使我喜笑，凡听见的必与我一同喜笑。”7又说：“谁能预先对亚伯拉罕说‘撒拉要乳养婴孩’呢？因为在他年老的时候，我给他生了一个儿子。”8孩子渐长，就断了奶。以撒断奶的日子，亚伯拉罕设摆丰盛的筵席。

9当时，撒拉看见埃及人夏甲给亚伯拉罕所生的儿子戏笑，10就对亚伯拉罕说：“你把这使女和她儿子赶出去！因为这使女的儿子不可与我的儿子以撒一同承受产业。”11亚伯拉罕因他儿子的缘故很忧愁。12　神对亚伯拉罕说：“你不必为这童子和你的使女忧愁，凡撒拉对你说的话，你都该听从，因为从以撒生的，才要称为你的后裔。13至于使女的儿子，我也必使他的后裔成立一国，因为他是你所生的。”14亚伯拉罕清早起来，拿饼和一皮袋水，给了夏甲，搭在她的肩上，又把孩子交给她，打发她走。夏甲就走了，在别是巴的旷野走迷了路。15皮袋的水用尽了，夏甲就把孩子撇在小树底下，16自己走开约有一箭之远，相对而坐，说：“我不忍见孩子死！”就相对而坐，放声大哭。17　神听见童子的声音。　神的使者从天上呼叫夏甲说：“夏甲！你为何这样呢？不要害怕，　神已经听见童子的声音了。18起来！把童子抱在怀中，我必使他的后裔成为大国。”19　神使夏甲的眼睛明亮，她就看见一口水井，便去将皮袋盛满了水，给童子喝。20　神保佑童子，他就渐长，住在旷野，成了弓箭手。21他住在巴兰的旷野，他母亲从埃及地给他娶了一个妻子。

Genesis 21:1-21

Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised. 2 Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. 3 Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore him. 4 When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God commanded him. 5 Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. 6 Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” 7 And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.” 

8The child grew and was weaned, and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a great feast. 9 But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking, 10 and she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman and her son, for that woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac.” 11 The matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son. 12 But God said to him, “Do not be so distressed about the boy and your slave woman. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned. 13 I will make the son of the slave into a nation also, because he is your offspring.” 14 Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the Desert of Beersheba. 15 When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes. 16 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 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. 18 Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.” 19 Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink. 20 God was with the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became an archer. 21 While he was living in the Desert of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from Egypt.

约伯记1:8-9、2:3  

8耶和华问撒但说：“你曾用心察看我的仆人约伯没有？地上再没有人像他完全正直，敬畏　神，远离恶事。”9撒但回答耶和华说：“约伯敬畏　神岂是无故呢？

3耶和华问撒但说：“你曾用心察看我的仆人约伯没有？地上再没有人像他完全正直，敬畏　神，远离恶事。你虽激动我攻击他，无故地毁灭他；他仍然持守他的纯正。”
