'Woe to You' in the Bible
But woe to you who are rich,for you have received your comfort.
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.
Woe to youwhen all people speak well of you,for this is the way their ancestorsused to treat the false prophets.
“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes!
“But woe to you Pharisees! You give a tenth of mint, rue, and every kind of herb, and you bypass justice and love for God. These things you should have done without neglecting the others.
“Woe to you Pharisees! You love the front seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.
“Woe to you! You are like unmarked graves; the people who walk over them don’t know it.”
“Woe to you! You build monuments to the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
“Woe to you experts in the law! You have taken away the key of knowledge! You didn’t go in yourselves, and you hindered those who were going in.”
