“And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?”
And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? — the lesser-to-greater argument: if the unjust judge responds to persistence, will God — who is just and who loves his chosen ones — not bring justice? Day and night: the persistence of the prayer matches the persistence of the widow. Will he keep putting them off: the implication is no, while acknowledging the apparent delay.
