Here's a list of woe people in the Bible.

Love your stuff...
...but listen...Isaiah 5:11 goes like this:
"Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!"
Why not print the rest? It is all silly. You don't need to rip things out of context to show it. It just makes you as ingenuous as those trying to scam people into believing.
Thanks Lars. And you're right, I should have quoted the whole verse. I usually try to include as much of the quote as is necessary to show the meaning of the verse or passage, but this time I couldn't resist truncating it for humorous effect.
I'll revise the post to include the whole verse as you suggest.
"Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you."
Revelation 12:12
But Lord you are the one that created the whole thing to begin with,remember ? During iron age Most Holy... does that ring a bell ?
Still hesitating ? Try Omega3 it's good it's fish oil.
Speaking of fish Your Most Hon'rable marine wildlife is evil too, is this so... they can't stop sinning like us bone bags uh I'd bet ? Why haven't I though about it before... woe to the inhabitant of the sea !
Where's my fishing rod ?!
The epitome of sadism.
