Luke 18:2-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor regarded man.

³ And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.

⁴ And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man,

⁵ Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.

⁶ And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.

⁷ And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?

⁸ I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?
