Lk 6, Verses 24–26English original
But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
For this expression, woe, is always said in the Scriptures to those who cannot escape from future punishment.
