14For when peaceful stillness encompassed everything and the night in its swift course was half spent, 15Your all-powerful word from heaven’s royal throne leapt into the doomed land, 16a fierce warrior bearing the sharp sword of your inexorable decree, And alighted, and filled every place with death, and touched heaven, while standing upon the earth. 6For all creation, in its several kinds, was being made over anew, serving your commands, that your children might be preserved unharmed. 7The cloud overshadowed their camp; and out of what had been water, dry land was seen emerging: Out of the Red Sea an unimpeded road, and a grassy plain out of the mighty flood. 8Over this crossed the whole nation sheltered by your hand, and they beheld stupendous wonders. 9For they ranged about like horses, and leapt like lambs, praising you, LORD, their deliverer.

2Sing praise to him, play music; proclaim all his wondrous deeds! 3Glory in his holy name; let hearts that seek the LORD rejoice! 36He struck down every firstborn in the land, the first fruits of all their vigor. 37He brought his people out, laden with silver and gold; no one among the tribes stumbled. 42For he remembered his sacred promise to Abraham his servant. 43He brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with shouts of triumph.

1Then he told them a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary. He said, 2“There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected any human being. 3And a widow in that town used to come to him and say, ‘Render a just decision for me against my adversary.’ 4For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, ‘While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, 5because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.’” 6The Lord said, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. 7Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them? 8I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
