But alas for you that are rich! for you have received your consolation.

Alas for you that are full! for you shall be hungry. Alas for you that laugh now! for you shall mourn and weep.

Alas for you, when men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

Alas for thee, Chorazin! alas for thee, Bethsaida! for, if the mighty works which have been done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

But alas for you, Pharisees! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass by the justice and the love of God; these you ought to have done, and those you ought not to have left undone.

Alas for you, Pharisees! for you love the chief seat in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like graves that are not seen; and men that walk over them know it not.

He replied: Alas for you, lawyers, also! for you bind upon men burdens hard to be borne, and you yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers,

Alas for you! for you build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

Alas for you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not go in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you prevented.

Then he said to his disciples: It is impossible that causes of offense should not come; but alas for him by whom they come!

But alas for them that are with child, and for them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath upon this people.

And the Son of man goes, as it is determined; but alas for that man by whom he is delivered up.
