Mace(i)
1 Jesus propos'd likewise this parable to them, to show that they should persevere in prayer, and not be discouraged.
2 saying, in a certain city there was a judge, who neither feared God, nor regarded man.
3 a widow was likewise there, who frequently came to him, saying, do me justice against my adversary.
4 for some time he refus'd to do it: but at length he said in himself; tho' I neither fear God, nor regard man;
5 yet, because this widow importunes me, I will do her justice, that she may'nt be continually coming to teaze me.
6 observe, said Jesus, that language of this unrighteous judge.
7 and will not God avenge his own elect, who cry to him night and day? will he delay their cause?
8 I tell you, he will speedily avenge them. however, when the son of man comes, how few of the faithful will he find in the land?
