Nudnik is kind of an insulting term, so I am surprised that it is used.
Actually the whole sentence is kind of belittling....is that really
what it says?
I'll have to go look it up....

Okay, I just went and looked it up in various translations.

I must say the CJB translation is terrible...the others were worded
much more kindly.

Nudnik? :(

Luk 18:5 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

The CJB does not hardly render an accurate reading, but Stern is not known for "steller" "translating" abilities

Is he translating from the Greek, or is he just throwing Hebrew and
Yiddish jargon into an English translation?

sorry! that really struck me funny

Stern does not have any degrees in Greek, Hebrew or Aramaic. I was going to say, that by his pseudo translating of the Greek especially - it's obvious that he can't

If memory serves me right, his Hebrew text follows the King James Version, again, with his own "Hebrew" plunked in to give in an air of "authority"

that's because it is funny if that is what he is actually doing.
