Luke 18:1-7

¹And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint; ²saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man: ³and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. ⁴And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; ⁵yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming. ⁶And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith. ⁷And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and [yet] he is longsuffering over them?
