1 Samuel 1:14

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

“How long are you going to stay drunk?” he asked. “Sober up!”

See the chapter Copy

and give up your sins— even those you do in secret.

If you return to God and turn from sin, all will go well for you.

How long will you talk and keep saying nothing?

I feel like a shaky fence or a sagging wall. How long will all of you attack and assault me?

Never tell lies or be deceitful in what you say.

How long will you lie there doing nothing at all? When are you going to get up and stop sleeping?

Others made fun of the Lord's followers and said, “They are drunk.”

The Holy Spirit took control of everyone, and they began speaking whatever languages the Spirit let them speak.

We are part of the same body. Stop lying and start telling each other the truth.

Stop being bitter and angry with others. Don't yell at one another or curse each other or ever be rude.
