Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
shall not God—not unjust, but the infinitely righteous Judge.
avenge—redeem from oppression.
his own elect—not like this widow, the object of indifference and contempt, but dear to Him as the apple of the eye (Zechariah 2:8).
cry day and night—whose every cry enters into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth (James 5:4), and how much more their incessant and persevering cries!
bear long with them—rather, "in their case," or "on their account" (as) James 5:7, "for it"), [GROTIUS, DE WETTE, etc.].
the Lord—a name expressive of the authoritative style in which He interprets His own parable.
