"You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna?"
— Matthew 23:33, World English Bible
“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 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 say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we wouldn't have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.'
Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna?
Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city;
that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
