1 Samuel 1:12-16

12As she was praying to the Lord, Eli watched her.

13Seeing her lips moving but hearing no sound, he thought she had been drinking.

14“Must you come here drunk?” he demanded. “Throw away your wine!”

15“Oh no, sir!” she replied. “I haven’t been drinking wine or anything stronger. But I am very discouraged, and I was pouring out my heart to the Lord.

16Don’t think I am a wicked woman! For I have been praying out of great anguish and sorrow.”
