Matthew 11:20-24

Woes Pronounced on Unrepentant Cities

20
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein were done the most of his miracles, for that they had not done penance.
21
Woe thee, Corozain, woe to thee, Bethsaida: for if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in you, they had long ago done penance in sackcloth and ashes.
22
But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you.
23
And thou Capharnaum, shalt thou be exalted up to heaven? thou shalt go down even unto hell. For if in Sodom had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in thee, perhaps it had remained unto this day.
24
But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for thee.
