“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,
And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
and he would not for a time , but after these things he said in himself, Even if God I do not fear , and man do not regard ,
For a while he refused , but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men ,
yet because this widow doth give me trouble , I will do her justice , lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me. '

Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night ? Will He continue to defer their help ?
I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come , shall he find the faith upon the earth? '
