'Woe to Those' in the Bible

Woe to those who join house to house, laying field to field, until the end of space, and you are made to dwell alone in the middle of the land!

Woe to those who rise up early in the morning to go after strong drink; tarrying in the twilight while wine inflames them!

Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin with cart ropes;

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

Woe to those wise in their own eyes, and bright in their own sight!

Woe to those mighty to drink wine, and brave men to mix strong drink;

Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the scribes who write toil;

Woe to those who go deep to hide their purpose from Jehovah! And their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? And who knows us?

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and lean on horses and trust in chariots, because it is great; and in horsemen, because they are so very strong, but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor do they seek Jehovah!

and say, So says the Lord Jehovah: Woe to those sewing bands to all joints of my hands, and make long veils for the head of every man of stature, to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of My people, and will you save alive the souls for yourselves?

Woe to those desiring the day of Jehovah! What is this for you? The day of Jehovah is darkness and not light;

Woe to those at ease in Zion, and those trusting in the mountain of Samaria, who are noted as leader of the nations. And the house of Israel came to them.

Woe to those who plot wickedness and prepare evil on their beds! When the morning is light they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.

And woe to those who are with child, and to those who give suck in those days!

But woe to those with babe in womb, and to those who give suck in those days!

But woe to those who are with child, and to those suckling in those days! For there shall be great distress in the land and wrath on this people.
