1 Samuel 1:13-15

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹³ Hannah was praying silently; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard; therefore Eli thought she was drunk.^{(A) 14} So Eli said to her, “How long will you make a drunken spectacle of yourself? Put away your wine.”^{(B) 15} But Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman deeply troubled; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the Lord.^(C)
