Grind - Grinding Poverty

Postby dreams » Mon Nov 22, 2004 9:56 am

The image is of a slave pushing a large grindstone around in circles, from whence we have "the daily grind." Making victims of the poor like one threshes and grinds grain is implied in the verse:

Isaiah 3:15
What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts.

Return to “G”
