Noyes(i)
7 And will not God avenge his chosen, who cry to him day and night, though he be slow to punish in their behalf?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. But yet, when the Son of man cometh, will he find faith on the earth?
9 And to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised all others, he spoke this parable:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself thus: O God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I gain.
13 But the publican, standing afar off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven; but smote his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me a sinner!
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one that exalteth himself will be humbled; but he that humbleth himself will be exalted.
