1. And he spoke also a parable to them to the purport that they should always pray and not faint,
2. saying, There was a judge in a city, not fearing God and not respecting man:
3. and there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of mine adverse party.
4. And he would not for a time; but afterwards he said within himself, If even I fear not God and respect not man,
5. at any rate because this widow annoys me I will avenge her, that she may not by perpetually coming completely harass me.
6. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.
7. And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to them?
