exceptions were made; the monarch bewailed his heir as did the menial at the
mill. They smote the Lord’s firstborn, Israel, and he smites theirs. The chief of their strength is in the tabernacles of Ham. Swinging his scythe
over the field, death topped off the highest flowers. The tents of Ham knew
each one its own especial sorrow, and were made to sympathize with the sorrows
which had been ruthlessly inflicted on the habitations of Israel. Thus curses
come home to roost. Oppressors are paid in their own coin.
