15 Bible Verses about Woe To Israel And Jerusalem

Woe to you, Jerusalem!
You are unclean—
for how long yet?

the city where David camped!

Woe to the city of bloodshed!
I Myself will make the pile of kindling large.

and whose rust will not come off!
Empty it piece by piece;
lots should not be cast for its contents.

Woe to those who are at ease in Zion
and to those who feel secure on the hill of Samaria—

who deserts the flock!
May a sword strike his arm
and his right eye!
May his arm wither away
and his right eye go completely blind!”

Woe to them, for they fled from Me;
destruction to them, for they rebelled against Me!
Though I want to redeem them,
they speak lies against Me.

Even if they raise children,
I will bereave them of each one.
Yes, woe to them when I depart from them!

Woe to you who long for the Day of the Lord!
What will the Day of the Lord be for you?
It will be darkness and not light.

The look on their faces testifies against them,
and like Sodom, they flaunt their sin.
They do not conceal it.
Woe to them,
for they have brought evil on themselves.

Woe to the majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards,
and to the fading flower of its beautiful splendor,
which is on the summit above the rich valley.
Woe to those overcome with wine.

Woe to the rebellious children!
This is the Lord’s declaration.
They carry out a plan, but not Mine;
they make an alliance,
but against My will,
piling sin on top of sin.
