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