1 Samuel 1:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ “No, I'm not drunk, sir,” she answered. “I haven't been drinking! I am desperate, and I have been praying, pouring out my troubles to the Lord. ¹⁶ Don't think I am a worthless woman. I have been praying like this because I'm so miserable.”

¹⁷ “Go in peace,” Eli said, “and may the God of Israel give you what you have asked him for.”
