'Woe to Those' in the Bible

Woe to those joining house to house, Field to field they bring near, till there is no place, And ye have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land!

Woe to those rising early in the morning, Strong drink they pursue! Tarrying in twilight, wine inflameth them!

Woe to those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as with thick ropes of the cart -- sin.

Woe to those saying to evil 'good,' And to good 'evil,' Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.

Woe (judgment is coming) to those who are wise in their own eyesAnd clever and shrewd in their own sight!

Woe (judgment is coming) to those who are heroes at drinking wineAnd men of strength in mixing intoxicating drinks,

Woe to those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness.

Woe to those going deep from Jehovah to hide counsel, And whose works have been in darkness. And they say, 'Who is seeing us? And who is knowing us?'

Woe to those going down to Egypt for help, And on horses lean, And trust on chariots, because many, And on horsemen, because very strong, And have not looked on the Holy One of Israel, And Jehovah have not sought.
