MLV(i)
21 You who hunger now are fortunate, because you will be fed. You who are weeping now are fortunate, because you will be laughing.
22 You are fortunate, whenever men hate you and whenever they separate you from themselves, and may reproach you and may cast out your name like evil, because of the Son of Man.
23 Rejoice in that day and jump for joy, for behold your reward is much in heaven; for their fathers were doing to the prophets according to the same things.
24 However, woe to you who are rich, because you are having your consolation! 25 Woe to you who have been filled, because you will hunger! Woe to you who laugh now, because you will be mourning and will be weeping! 26 Woe to you whenever men speak well of you, for their fathers were doing to the false prophets according to the same things!
