In my defence, your lips were moving and nothing was coming out.

Replying to @hannah

I said I hoped the God of Israel would give you what you’d asked for. He did.

I’ve told my sons. Everyone is talking about what they’re doing. If a man sins against another man, God can step in. If he sins against the LORD, who’s going to speak up for him?

Replying to @samuel

Third time you came in, I understood. It was the LORD calling you. So I told you: if he calls again, say “Speak, LORD. I’m listening.”

Replying to @samuel

He is the LORD. Let him do what he thinks is right.
