St Luke 18:1-8 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. AND he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray, and not to faint,

2. Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor regarded man.

3. And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.

4. And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man,

5. Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.

6. And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.

7. And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?

8. I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?
