Given by: Enoch, in his epistle, closing a chain of woes against luxury and violence. Given to: the mighty who oppress the righteous — and, by warning, to all who wield power.

The chapter's woes fall on those who devour the finest wheat and tread the lowly underfoot — a portrait of an élite whose luxury rested on the crushed. The epistle gives the crushed a voice and the élite a deadline.

Woe to you, ye mighty, Who with might oppress the righteous; For the day of your destruction is coming. In those days many and good days shall come to the righteous—in the day of your judgement.

A woe against the mighty who use their strength to crush the righteous: their day of destruction is coming, while good days are coming for those they oppressed. The implied duty is to use whatever power one holds to protect, never to oppress.
