And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.

And there was a widow in that city. Avenge me, that Isaiah , vindicate my right against my oppressor, and free my innocence; righteousness, substance, and character, which are brought to trial by my enemy who is powerful, and against whom I cannot stand. She did not ask for vengeance but only for justice, that she might be delivered from the violence of her adversary and get back her own.
