1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,
2 saying, "A certain judge was in a city, who didn`t fear God, and didn`t respect man.
3 A widow was in that city, and she came often to him, saying, `Defend me from my adversary!`
4 He wouldn`t for a while, but afterward he said to himself, `Though I don`t fear God, nor respect man,
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.`"
6 The Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 Won`t God avenge his elect, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
