1 And He also spoke an allegory to them, that it is always necessary to pray and not to faint,

2 saying, “A certain judge was in a certain city—he is not fearing God, and he is not regarding man—

3 and a widow was in that city, and she was coming to him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,

4 and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if I do not fear God, and do not regard man,

5 yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, continuously coming, she may bruise me.”

6 And the LORD said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says:

7 and will God not execute justice to His chosen ones, who are crying to Him day and night—bearing long in regard to them?
