Luke

Luke 6:24–26

²⁴But woe to you who are rich,

for you have already received your comfort.

²⁵Woe to you who are well fed now,

for you will hunger.

Woe to you who laugh now,

for you will mourn and weep.

²⁶Woe to you when all men speak well of you,

for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.
