'Woe to Those' in the Bible

Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land.

Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them.

Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope;

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 who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight.

Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;

Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive decrees;

Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from the LORD, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, "Who sees us?" and "Who knows us?"

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, and they do not seek the LORD.

Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the foremost of nations, to whom the house of Israel come.

Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds. When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.

But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days.

But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babies in those days.

Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days. For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath to this people.
