1 Samuel 1:12-16

12Now it happened as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli was watching her mouth.

13Hannah was speaking in her heart (mind); only her lips were moving, and her voice was not heard, so Eli thought she was drunk.

14Eli said to her, “How long will you make yourself drunk? Get rid of your wine.”

15But Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman with a despairing spirit. I have not been drinking wine or any intoxicating drink, but I have poured out my soul before the Lord.

16Do not regard your maidservant as a wicked and worthless woman, for I have spoken until now out of my great concern and [bitter] provocation.”
