Put away thy wine from thee. And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before LORD. Count not thy handmaid for an iniquitous woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation have I spoken until now.

So the woman went her way, and ate, and her countenance was no more [sad]. And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah.
