1 Samuel 1:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁵ But Hannah answered, ‘No, my lord, I am a woman deeply troubled; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the Lord. ¹⁶ Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation all this time.’ ¹⁷ Then Eli answered, ‘Go in peace; the God of Israel grant the petition you have made to him.’
