Luke 6:26

English

²⁶How terrible for you when everyone says good things about you!

Their people treated the false prophets the same way long ago.

“Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.

Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,

for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.

Woe to you

when all people speak well of you,

for this is the way their ancestors

used to treat the false prophets.

What sorrow awaits you who are praised by the crowds,

for their ancestors also praised false prophets.

Woe whenever all people speak well of you,

for their fathers used to do the same things to the false prophets.

Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
