Thematic Bible: The importunate (unrelenting) widow

And he would not for a time: and after these he said in himself, And if I fear not God, and am not occupied about man; Yet because this widow produces fatigue to me, I will avenge her, lest in the end, coming, she give me a blow under the eyes. And the Lord said, Hear ye what the judge of injustice says. And shall not God do the avenging of his chosen, crying to him day and night, being slow to anger toward them? I say to you, that he will do their avenging swiftly. But the Son of man having come, shall he find faith upon earth
