"And there was a widow in that town, and she kept on coming to him and saying, Give me my right against the man who has done me wrong."
— Luke 18:3, Bible in Basic English
“And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.”
And he made a story for them, the point of which was that men were to go on making prayer and not get tired;
Saying, There was a judge in a certain town, who had no fear of God or respect for man:
And there was a widow in that town, and she kept on coming to him and saying, Give me my right against the man who has done me wrong.
And for a time he would not: but later, he said to himself, Though I have no fear of God or respect for man,
Because this widow is a trouble to me, I will give her her right; for if not, I will be completely tired out by her frequent coming.
And the Lord said, Give ear to the words of the evil judge.
