God's mills grind slow,But they grind woe.
— Retribution
God's mills grind slow,But they grind woe.
Retribution often means that we eventually do to ourselves what we have done unto others.
To be left aloneJust retribution.
Be ready, gods, with all your thunderbolts;Dash him to pieces!
The divine power moves with difficulty, but at the same time surely.
The ways of the gods are long, but in the end they are not without strength.
Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small;Though with patience He stands waiting, with exactness grinds He all.
But as some muskets so contrive itBear wide, and kick their owners over.
