^{3 Ref} And there was a widow in that town, and she kept on coming to him and saying, Give me my right against the man who has done me wrong.

^{4 Ref} And for a time he would not: but later, he said to himself, Though I have no fear of God or respect for man,

^{5 Ref} Because this widow is a trouble to me, I will give her her right; for if not, I will be completely tired out by her frequent coming.

^{6 Ref} And the Lord said, Give ear to the words of the evil judge.

^{7 Ref} And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it?
