Gen_16:4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

Ver. 4. Her mistress was despised in her eyes.] Heb., Allevata est, sive elevata est :and so she was beaten with her own rod, and yet complains. Neither is it any wonder; for, "for three things the earth is disquieted," saith Agur, and two of them are, "for an odious woman when she is married, and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress". {Pro_30:21; Pro_30:23} Asperius nihil est humili dum surgit in altum . Set a beggar on horseback, and there’s no hoe with him.
