1 Samuel 1:12-16
New King James Version
12 And it happened, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli watched her mouth. 13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk. 14 So Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put your wine away from you!”
15 But Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but have (A)poured out my soul before the Lord. 16 Do not consider your maidservant a (B)wicked[a] woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief I have spoken until now.”
