And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? / I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? / And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: / Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
Bible
