1 Samuel 1:14

Eli

12 As Hannah kept on praying before the LORD, Eli watched her mouth.

13 Hannah was praying in her heart, and though her lips were moving, her voice could not be heard. So Eli thought she was drunk

and said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put away your wine!”

15 “No, my lord,” Hannah replied. “I am a woman oppressed in spirit. I have not had any wine or strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the LORD.

16 Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; for all this time I have been praying out of the depth of my anguish and grief.”
