'Woe to You' in the Bible
But woe to you rich folk! you get all the comforts you will ever get.
Woe to you who have your fill to-day! you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh to-day! you will wail and weep.
Woe to you when all men speak well of you! that is just what their fathers did to the false prophets.
Woe to you, Khorazin! woe to you, Bethsaida! Had the miracles performed in you been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have been sitting penitent in sackcloth and ashes.
But woe to you Pharisees! you tithe mint and rue and every vegetable, but justice and the love of God you disregard; these latter you ought to have practised ??without omitting the former.
Woe to you Pharisees! you love the front bench in the synagogues and salutations in the marketplaces.
Woe to you! you are like unsuspected tombs; men walk over them unawares."
He said, "And woe to you jurists! you load men with irksome burdens, and you will not put a single finger to their burdens.
Woe to you! you build tombs for the prophets whom your own fathers killed:
Woe to you jurists! you have taken the key that unlocks the door of knowledge; you have not entered yourselves, and you have stopped those who were entering."
