This is a rhetorical question used as a rebuke. It can be translated as "You yourselves should discern what is right." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]]) It introduces Jesus' teaching about what is right.

This is the beginning of another parable. Jesus uses a hypothetical situation as a metaphor for God's impending judgment.

## For when you go ##

## settle the matter with him ##
|
|
|

"settle the matter with your adversary"

|
|
This refers to the magistrate, but the term here is more specific and threatening.

"does not hand you over" |
