13. As for Hannah, she was speaking in her heart, only her lips were moving, but her voice was not heard. So Eli thought she was drunk.
14. Then Eli said to her, "How long will you make yourself drunk? Put away your wine from you."
15. But Hannah replied, "No, my lord, I am a woman oppressed in spirit; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the Lord.
16. Do not consider your maidservant as a worthless woman, for I have spoken until now out of my great concern and provocation."
17. Then Eli answered and said, "Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of Him."
