And solemnly lifting up His eyes on His disciples, He said: Blessed (happy—with life-joy and satisfaction in the Almingty’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and to be envied) are you poor and lowly and afflicted (destitute of wealth, influence, position, and honor), for the kingdom of the Almighty is yours!
Blessed (happy—with life-joy and satisfaction in the Almingty’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and to be envied) are you who hunger and seek with eager desire now, for you shall be filled and completely satisfied! Blessed (happy—with life-joy and satisfaction in the Almingty’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and to be envied) are you who weep and sob now, for you shall laugh!
Blessed (happy—with life-joy and satisfaction in the Almingty’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and to be envied) are you when people despise (hate) you, and when they exclude and excommunicate you [as disreputable] and revile and denounce you and defame and cast out and spurn your name as evil (wicked) on account of the Son of Man.
Rejoice and be glad at such a time and exult and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is rich and great and strong and intense and abundant in heaven; for even so their forefathers treated the prophets.
But woe to (alas for) you who are rich (abounding in material resources), for you already are receiving your consolation (the solace and sense of strengthening and cheer that come from prosperity) and have taken and enjoyed your comfort in full [having nothing left to be awarded you].
Woe to (alas for) you who are full now (completely filled, luxuriously gorged and satiated), for you shall hunger and suffer want! Woe to (alas for) you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep and wail!
Woe to (alas for) you when everyone speaks fairly and handsomely of you and praises you, for even so their forefathers did to the false prophets.

O My Master! You Truly Know Me Better Than What I Know Myself …
You know my heart when I ask. You know my heart when I take. What a blessing! But my pride! My good intension after I ask goes sour with shame and beggardly hurt feelings whether I get the help needed or not
