In the same town there was a widow who went to him again and again, and said 'Grant me justice against my opponent.'
Be ready to make friends with your opponent, even when you meet him on your way to the court; for fear that he should hand you over to the judge, and the judge to his officer, and you should be thrown into prison.
"There was," he said, "in a certain town a judge, who had no fear of God nor regard for man.
For a time the judge refused, but afterwards he said to himself 'Although I am without fear of God or regard for man,
Yet, as this widow is so troublesome, I will grant her justice, to stop her from plaguing me with her endless visits.'"
