Luke 18:1-8

Tree of Life Version

18 Then Yeshua told them a parable to show that they should always pray and not be discouraged, ² He said, “There was a judge in a certain city who neither feared God nor respected people. ³ And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him, saying, ‘Give me justice against my opponent.’

⁴ “He was unwilling at the time. But afterward he said to himself, ‘Although I don’t fear God or respect people, ⁵ yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice so she won’t wear me out by her incessant coming.’”

⁶ Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge is saying. ⁷ Won’t God do justice for His chosen ones, who cry out to Him day and night? Will He be slow to help them? ⁸ I tell you, He will quickly give them justice. But when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”
