Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!

Woe to you, [O man!], yes, woe to you.

Woe to you; and woe.

[Woe be] nearer to you (there is a shift from the third [to the second] person address here; the term [awl] is a noun of action, with the [following] lm being explicative, in other words, `what you are averse to is [now] near to you') and nearer, that is because you are more deserving of it [woe] than anyone else,
