NSB(i)
1 He spoke an illustration to them emphasizing the need to pray and not become tired:
2 »There was a judge in a city that did not fear God and had no respect for man.
3 »There was a widow in that same city. She went to him asking for legal protection from her adversary.
4 »At first he refused. Then he thought about it and he said to himself, I do not fear God and have little respect for man.
5 »However this widow bothers me. For this reason I will avenge her. If she keeps coming to me she will wear me out.«
6 The Lord continued: »Pay attention to what the unrighteous judge said.«
7 »Should God avenge his chosen that cry to him day and night, and yet he is longsuffering over them?
