1Samuel:1:12-16
rsv@1Samuel:1:12 @ As she continued praying before the LORD, Eli observed her mouth.
rsv@1Samuel:1:13 @ Hannah was speaking in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard; therefore Eli took her to be a drunken woman.
rsv@1Samuel:1:14 @ And Eli said to her, "How long will you be drunken? Put away your wine from you."
rsv@1Samuel:1:15 @ But Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman sorely troubled; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the LORD.
rsv@1Samuel:1:16 @ Do not regard your maidservant as a base woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation."
