Exegesis
The second half is introduced by ouai de {οὐαὶ δὲ | ou-aí de} ‘but woe’, shifting from the divine plan to the human agent under judgment.
In context — Mark 14:21
For the Son of Man indeed goes just as it has been written about Him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed; it would have been good for him if that man had not been born.
