Luke 12:49
The KJV has this verse as: "I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?"
Reading Rowland's Giordano Bruno just now, I came across this version: "I came into this world to light a fire: what should I want but that it burn?" (p38) (I could find no other reference to this version, apart from the Rowland one.)
A little tweaking would render it in woos: "I am come on the earth to light a fire: what should I want but that it burn?"

Dante: "Abandon all hope, you who enter" could read "Give up all hope, you who would come in (here)".
