NOTE:  This reading has been recorded ONCE, for listening, agreeing, and memorizing.  

   

The presentation of this episode is simple: a reading of scripture verses containing the Greek word "οὐαί". 

Some of the most important warnings in the Bible are made by use of this word. 

"οὐαί", by meaning and in translation, indicates generally "Woe!" or "Alas!" For this episode, we have selected verses announcing WOE, which is the uttering of divine denunciation.

This episode is one of a series of broadcasts which focus exclusively on presenting scripture by centering around the uses of specific terms. It is our hope that this presentation will broaden our listeners' exposure to pervasive Biblical themes, and in addition provide a vehicle for memorizing important scriptures. 

Greek is useful as the language of choice for collating the scriptures in question, since certain primary sources of both Old and New Testaments are available in Greek, whereas the same cannot properly be said of Hebrew. 

Some of the language may have been slightly adjusted in order to make the context and meaning of each verse as intelligible as possible. 

Translations used: KJV, ESV, NASB, ASV, BRENTON
