[1] And a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; [2] Saying, in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: [3] And a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge of adversary. [4] And he would not for a while: but he said within himself, I fear not God, nor regard man; [5] Yet because widow troubleth I will avenge her, by her continual coming she weary [6] And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. [7] And God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night him, though he bear long with them?
