3 Havia também naquela mesma cidade uma certa viúva, e vinha até ele, dizendo: Faze-me justiça com meu adversário.

4 E por um [certo] tempo ele não quis; mas depois disto, disse para si: Ainda que eu não tema a Deus, nem respeite pessoa alguma,

5 Porém, porque esta viúva me incomoda, eu lhe farei justiça, para que ela pare de vir me chatear.

6 E disse o Senhor: Ouvi o que diz o juiz injusto.

7 E Deus não fará justiça para seus escolhidos, que clamam a ele de dia e de noite? Demorará com eles?
