Woes

Luke 11:43-54 (Jesus pronounces woes on the pharisees)

Woe to you Pharisees and lawyers
who claim to follow the law
but never saw the truth
and woe to you
who fight with your image
of piety instead of mercy
woe to them
who Jesus called whitewashed tombs
Woe! Woes pronounced
to those who were the leaders
to those who couldn't see
past the plank in their eye
and woe to me
for my loveless faith.
