Matthew 11:20-24

New International Version

Woe on Unrepentant Towns^(A)

²⁰Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. ²¹“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!^(B) For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon,^(C) they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.^(D) ²²But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.^(E) ²³And you, Capernaum,^(F) will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.^[a]^(G) For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. ²⁴But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”^(H)

¹The Lord is my shepherd,^(A) I lack nothing.^(B)

I will fear no evil,^(I)
    for you are with me;^(J)
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

⁵You prepare a table^(K) before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;^(L)

    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
