The Parable of the Persistent Widow

6And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.7Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help?8I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
