"You serpents, you brood of vipers! How will you escape from the judgment of Hell? "
— Matthew 23:33, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?”
“Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell? ”
“You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna?”
“You snakes, you offspring of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?”
“You serpents, generation of vipers, how will you flee from the judgment of hell?”
“You snakes, offspring of snakes, how will you be kept from the punishment of hell?”
“Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?”
And then you say, ‘If we had been there in the days of our fathers, we would not have joined with them in the blood of the prophets.’
And so you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of those who killed the prophets.
Complete, then, the measure of your fathers.
You serpents, you brood of vipers! How will you escape from the judgment of Hell?
For this reason, behold, I send to you prophets and wise men, and scribes. And some of these you will put to death and crucify; and some you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,
so that upon you may fall all the blood of the just, which has been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just, even to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.
Amen I say to you, all these things shall fall upon this generation.
