'Woe' in the Bible
Won’t all of these take up a taunt against him,with mockery and riddles about him?They will say:Woe to him who amasses what is not his—how much longer?—and loads himself with goods taken in pledge.
Woe to him who dishonestly makeswealth for his houseto place his nest on high,to escape from the reach of disaster!
Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshedand founds a town with injustice!
Woe to him who gives his neighbors drink,pouring out your wrathand even making them drunk,in order to look at their nakedness!
Woe to him who says to wood: Wake up!or to mute stone: Come alive!Can it teach?Look! It may be plated with gold and silver,yet there is no breath in it at all.
