1 Samuel 1:13-16

Contemporary English Version

^12-13 Hannah prayed silently to the Lord for a long time. But her lips were moving, and Eli thought she was drunk. ¹⁴ “How long are you going to stay drunk?” he asked. “Sober up!”

^15-16 “Sir, please don't think I'm no good!” Hannah answered. “I'm not drunk, and I haven't been drinking. But I do feel miserable and terribly upset. I've been praying all this time, telling the Lord about my problems.”
