1 Samuel 1:16 in Context — 1 Samuel 1
14 et il lui dit: Jusques à quand seras-tu dans l’ivresse? Fais passer ton vin.
15 Anne répondit: Non, mon seigneur, je suis une femme qui souffre en son cœur, et je n’ai bu ni vin ni boisson enivrante; mais je répandais mon âme devant l’Éternel.
16 Ne prends pas ta servante pour une femme pervertie, car c’est l’excès de ma douleur et de mon chagrin qui m’a fait parler jusqu’à présent.
17 Éli reprit la parole, et dit: Va en paix, et que le Dieu d’Israël exauce la prière que tu lui as adressée!
18 Elle dit: Que ta servante trouve grâce à tes yeux! Et cette femme s’en alla. Elle mangea, et son visage ne fut plus le même.
