Matthew 18:7

Woe to you, world (a strong expression of sorrow and condemnation of the world) for your snares (traps, temptations, and influences to cause people to fall, sin, and miss the mark). It is impossible to avoid snares (seductions, temptations), but woe to the person through whom they come. [Jesus feels sorrow and grief for those who lead others astray, but also condemns these actions.]
