Chorazin is a place addressed directly in pronouncements of woe over mighty works and unrepentance.

The term is used as the direct address of a place in parallel pronouncements of woe, where mighty works done there are contrasted with the repentance imagined for Tyre and Sidon.

Senses in use

  1. Place directly addressed in a woe pronouncement · dominant

    In Luke 10:13 and Matthew 11:21, the vocative singular form directly addresses Chorazin in the opening woe. In Luke 10:13 the APB renders, “Woe to you, Chorazin!” before comparing mighty works done there with Tyre and Sidon; Matthew 11:21 presents the same address and comparison.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the term unchanged in the direct address “Woe to you, Chorazin!” The verse is read as a whole, but its clause placement reflects the vocative use shown by the morphology.
