Lukas 18:4-5

And for a zman (time) the Shofet was not willing. But after these things, he said to himself, If indeed HASHEM I do not fear nor do Bnei Adam I respect, Yet because this almanah (widow) causes me tzoros and is such a nudzh (pest), I will grant yashrus (justice) to her, lest in the end she may wear me out by her constant coming.
