2“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
3And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
5yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’”
6And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
7Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help?
— Luke 18:2-7
