AUV(i)
2 He said, “There was a certain judge in this town who did not revere God nor respect man.
3 There was [also] a widow in that [same] town who kept coming to the judge saying, ‘Grant me a [favorable] judgment against my opponent.’
4 And for some time the judge refused to do it. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not revere God or respect man,
5 I will grant her a [favorable] judgment because she keeps bothering me [about the matter] and is about to exhaust my patience by her persistent visits.’”
6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what [even] this unjust judge said [about the widow].
7 So, will God not grant justice to His elect [i.e., His people] who call out to Him [i.e., in prayer] day and night? Will He be slow in helping them?
