In context
1 And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth us always to pray, and not to faint,
2 saying, `A certain judge was in a certain city--God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding--
3 and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto 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 God I do not fear, and man do not regard,
5 yet because this widow doth give me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.'

7 and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night--bearing long in regard to them?
