Before dealing with the topic of "Woe" in Quran versus Bible versus sciences, it is compulsory to remember that the total words in the Bible are 788,280 while the total words in the Quran are 77,473. It follows that, the Bible is more than 10 times the Quran word-wise. "Woe" is mentioned 104 times in the Bible and 34 times in the Quran, i.e. the Bible mentions "Woe" more than three times as does the Quran. In other words, the Bible has the potential of more than 10 times (word-wise) and seven times (subject-wise) than the Quran to talk about "Woe". The subject of "Woe" is too big, that it why it is classified into four parts, First, Who said Woe unto me?, Second, Nations that Deserve Woe ,Third part that is The Hypocrites who deserve Woe and this is the Fourth part that is the Evil Doers who Deserve Woes

The evil doers who deserve Woes in the Bible:

The Bible sets 14 strange ideas and six beautiful concepts. The strange ideas are: 1) Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter, 2) Woe unto him that saith unto his father, what begettest thou, 3) Woe to who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes? And go to seek mixed wine, 4) Woe to him that is alone when he falleth, 5) Woe to the land, when the king is a child, and the princes eat in the morning!, 6) Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, 7) Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, 8) Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, 9) Woe unto him that gives his neighbor drink, 10) Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake, 11) Woe unto you that are rich!, 12) Woe unto you that are full!, 13) Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you!

===============================================

The evil doers who deserve Woes in the Quran:

The Quran sets Two Scientific questions for the evil doers:1) Who create you? And 2) Who have made the interior of the earth a grave for both the living and the dead? We all know that the interior of the earth is a grave for the dead. However, the interior of the earth is a grave also for the livings! Do you know that one gram of the soil contains many millions of Living Bacteria? This is what the today sciences say! Also the Quran says that throughout the history, man used to mock every Messenger that Allah sent to them. Then the Quran cites: 1) Woe to the liars and falsehood-mongers who do not believe in the Day of Judgment and Justice! And in the Hell and Heavens! 2) Woe unto him that does not believe in the Quran because the Quran is the truth and is not a falsehood, and hence, 3) be ready for that Day!

Two Scientific questions:

1- Who create you?

Surah: 77, Verse: 20-24
[20] Have we not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?-
[21] The which we placed in a secure resting-place that is firmly fixed and well-protected,
[22] For an appointed term?
[23] For we do determine (according to need); for we are the best to determine (things).
[24] Woe on that day to those who belied it (reject the truth)!

2- Who have made the interior of the earth a grave for both the living and the dead?

We all know that the interior of the earth is a grave for the dead. However, the interior of the earth is a grave also for the livings! Do you know that one gram of the soil contains many millions of Living Bacteria? This is what the today sciences say! But the Quran preceded the Modern Sciences by more than 1400 years by stating this Statement!

Surah: 77, Verse: 25-28
[25] Have we not made the interior of the earth (as a place) a grave?
[26] For both the living and the dead?
[27] And made therein mountains standing firm, lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)?
[28] Woe on that day to those who belied it (reject the truth)!
-------------

Throughout the history, man used to mock every Messenger that Allah sent to them.

Surah: 36, Verse: 30
Woe, for those (unbelieving) worshipers! They mocked every Messenger that came to them.

However, all the messengers are appointed a time, for a horrible day; Woe on that day to those who belied

Surah: 77, Verse: 11-15
[11] And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);-
[12] For what day are these (portents) deferred?
[13] For the day of decision! (sorting out).
[14] And what will explain to thee what the day of decision (sorting out) is!?
[15] Woe on that day to those who belied it (reject the truth)!

-------------

Woe to the liars and falsehood-mongers who do not believe in the Day of Judgment and Justice! And in the Hell and Heavens!

Surah: 51, Verse: 10-14
[10] Woe to the liars (falsehood-mongers)
[11] Those who (flounder) heedless in a flood of confusion:
[12] They ask, "When will be the day of judgment and justice?"
[13] (It will be) a day when they will be tried (and tested) over the fire!
[14] "Taste ye your trial! This is what ye used to ask to be hastened!"

Surah: 52, Verse: 11-14
[11] On that Day woe to those who belied
[12] Those that are in plunging, playing.
[13] The day when they are thrust with a (disdainful) thrust, into the fire of hell
[14] "this: it will be said, "is the fire,- which ye were wont to deny!

Surah: 46, Verse: 17
But (there is one) who says to his parents, "fie on you! Do ye hold out the promise to me that i shall be raised up, even though generations have passed before me (without rising again)?" and they two seek Allah's aid, (and rebuke the son): "woe to thee! have faith! for the promise of Allah is true." but he says, "this is nothing but tales of the ancients!"
--------------------

Woe unto him that does not believe in the Quran
Surah: 45, Verse: 7-9
[7] Woe unto each sinful liar and guilty impostor.
[8] Who hears the communications of Allah recited to him, then persists proudly as though he had not heard them; so announce to him a painful punishment
[9] And when he comes to know of any of our communications (verses), he takes it for a jest; these it is that shall have abasing chastisement

The Quran is the truth and is not a falsehood.
Surah: 21, Verse: 18
No, We hurl truth at falsehood, and it shall conquer it, and see, falsehood vanishes. Woe to you for all you have described.
-------------

Be ready for that Day!

Surah: 18, Verse: 48- 49
[48] And they will be marshalled before thy lord in ranks, (with the announcement), "now have ye come to us (bare) as we created you first: aye, ye thought we shall not fulfil the appointment made to you to meet (us)!"
[49] And the book (of deeds) will be placed (before you); and thou wilt see the sinful in great terror because of what is (recorded) therein; they will say, "Ah! Woe to us! What a book is this! it leaves out nothing small or great, but takes account thereof!" they will find all that they did, placed before them: and not one will thy lord treat with injustice.

Back to the main topic of my series of articles (1- 83); this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible "? And which book preceded the Modern Sciences?
