Given by: Enoch, opening the woes of his epistle immediately after the admonitions to the righteous. Given to: those who build by unrighteousness — spoken over them as a warning, and overheard by the righteous as instruction.

The prophets pronounced the same woe — 'Woe to him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness' (Jeremiah 22:13), 'Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood' (Habakkuk 2:12). Enoch's readers watched elites raise estates on the backs of the poor, and the woe assured them heaven had noticed.

Woe to those who build unrighteousness and oppression And lay deceit as a foundation; For they shall be suddenly overthrown, And they shall have no peace.

The first woe of the epistle: whatever is built on unrighteousness, oppression and deceit — however grand — stands on a foundation God has condemned, and it will be suddenly overthrown, without peace.
