Luke 18:5 in Context — Luke 18

3 Il y avait aussi dans cette ville une veuve qui venait lui dire: Fais-moi justice de ma partie adverse.

4 Pendant longtemps il refusa. Mais ensuite il dit en lui-même: Quoique je ne craigne point Dieu et que je n’aie d’égard pour personne,

5 néanmoins, parce que cette veuve m’importune, je lui ferai justice, afin qu’elle ne vienne pas sans cesse me rompre la tête.

6 Le Seigneur ajouta: Entendez ce que dit le juge inique.

7 Et Dieu ne fera-t-il pas justice à ses élus, qui crient à lui jour et nuit, et tardera-t-il à leur égard?
