Luke 6:25

Happiness And Sorrow

²⁴ But woe to you who are rich,
for you have received your comfort.
²⁵ Woe to you who are now full,
for you will be hungry.
Woe to you who are now laughing,
for you will mourn and weep.
²⁶ Woe to you
when all people speak well of you,
for this is the way their ancestors
used to treat the false prophets.
