1 Samuel 1:13-16

13Hannah was praying quietly inside herself. Her lips moved but Eli could not hear her voice. So he thought that she was drunk.

14He said to her, ‘Are you always drunk like that? Throw away your wine.’

15Hannah replied, ‘No, sir, I have not drunk any wine or strong drink. I have much trouble deep inside myself. I have told the Lord about all my problems.

16Please sir, do not think that I am a bad woman. I am praying like this because I am very sad and upset.’
