14 Então, disse-lhe Eli: “Até quando estarás embriagada? Afasta-te do vinho”.

15 E Ana lhe respondeu: Não, meu senhor; eu sou uma mulher sofredora de espírito. Não bebi vinho nem bebida forte, mas tenho derramado minha alma diante do SENHOR.

16 Não consideres a tua serva como mulher ímpia, porque é da grandeza das minhas angústias e da minha aflição que tenho falado até agora.

17 E Eli respondeu: “Vai em paz, e o Deus de Israel te conceda o pedido que lhe fizeste”.

18 E ela disse: “Que a tua serva ache favor diante de teus olhos”. E a mulher se foi seu caminho, e comeu, e não esteve mais triste.
