1 Samuel 1:14–17

¹⁴and said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put away your wine!”

¹⁵“No, my lord,” Hannah replied. “I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have not had any wine or strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the LORD. ¹⁶Do not take your servant for a wicked woman, for all this time I have been praying out of the depth of my anguish and grief.”

¹⁷“Go in peace,” Eli replied, “and may the God of Israel grant the petition you have asked of Him.”
