Luke 18:7-14

Murdock(i) 7 And will not God, much more, vindicate his chosen, who call upon him by day and by night; and have patience with them? 8 I tell you, He will vindicate them speedily. Yet the Son of man will come; and will he find faith on the earth? 9 And he spake this similitude, against certain persons, who had confidence in themselves that they were righteous, and despised every one. 10 Two men went up to the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11 And the Pharisee stood by himself, and prayed thus: God, I thank thee that I have not been like the rest of men, rapacious, oppressive, and adulterous; nor like this publican. 12 But I fast twice in a week, and tithe all I possess. 13 And the publican stood afar off, and would not even lift his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, and said: God, be merciful to me, a sinner. 14 I say to you, that this man went down to his house justified, rather than the Pharisee. For every one that exalteth himself, will be humbled; and every one that humbleth himself, will be exalted.
