'Woe to Those' in the Bible

Woe to those who add house to house and join field to field,Until there is no more room,So that you have to live alone in the midst of the land!

Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue strong drink,Who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them!

Woe to those who drag iniquity with the cords of falsehood,And sin as if with cart ropes;

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyesAnd clever in their own sight!

Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wineAnd valiant men in mixing strong drink,

Woe to those who enact evil statutesAnd to those who constantly record unjust decisions,

Woe to those who deeply hide their plans from the Lord,And whose deeds are done in a dark place,And they say, “Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?”

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for helpAnd rely on horses,And trust in chariots because they are manyAnd in horsemen because they are very strong,But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek the Lord!
