Woe unto them,.... This may be considered as a commiseration of their case, or as a denunciation of deserved punishment, or as a prediction of what would befall them.

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

Woe unto them! - See Mat 11:21. For they have gone in the way of Cain - Gen 4:5-12. That is, they have evinced disobedience and rebellion as he did; they have shown that they are proud, corrupt, and wicked. The apostle does not specify the points in which they had imitated the example of Cain, but it was probably in such things as these - pride, haughtiness, the hatred of religion, restlessness under the restraints of virtue, envy that others were more favored, and a spirit of hatred of the brethren (compare 1Jn 3:15) which would lead to murder.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Woe--See on 2Pe 2:14, "cursed children." Cain--the murderer: the root of whose sin was hatred and envy of the godly, as it is the sin of these seducers. ran greedily--literally, "have been poured forth" like a torrent that has burst its banks.
