ISB ~ Luke 6 v24

woe:A cry of impending distress used by the prophets of Israel (Is 5:8-22; Amos 6:1; Hab 2:6-20). Jesus voices the sa

me cry to warn that disaster awaits the comfortable of the world whose prosperity and notoriety have turned them away from God and the demands of his covenant. rich: Society’s most prosperous and prestigious members. Their success in this life can tempt them to overlook the need for God and his mercy. Worldly wealth is thus dangerous (14:33; 18:24) because it can lead to selfishness and a false sense of security (1 Tim 6:17-19; Heb 13:5; CCC 2547).
