1 Samuel 1:13-16

13Now Hannah was speaking from her heart. Although her lips were moving, her voice was inaudible. Eli therefore thought she was drunk.

14So he said to her, “How often do you intend to get drunk? Put away your wine!”

15But Hannah replied, “That’s not the way it is, my lord! I am under a great deal of stress. I have drunk neither wine nor beer. Rather, I have poured out my soul to the Lord.

16Don’t consider your servant a wicked woman, for until now I have spoken from my deep pain and anguish.”
