1 Samuel 1:13-25 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

13. and Hannah, she is speaking to her heart, only her lips are moving, and her voice is not heard, and Eli reckoneth her to be drunken.

14. And Eli saith unto her, `Until when are thou drunken? turn aside thy wine from thee.'

15. And Hannah answereth and saith, `No, my lord, A woman sharply pained in spirit I [am], and wine and strong drink I have not drunk, and I pour out my soul before Jehovah;
