Woe

Jesus also used the negative form of the oracle. When He spoke out in angry denunciation of the Pharisees He pronounced the judgment of God upon their heads by saying to them, "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!" ... On the lips of a prophet the word woe is an announcement of doom.

RC Sproul, The Holiness of God, p.42
