MATTHEW 23:33 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?”
You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell? The serpents and brood of vipers — the same epithet John the Baptist applied to them (Matthew 3:7) — are the climactic indictment. The how are you to escape being sentenced to hell is the question that the seven woes have been building toward: the judgment that the Pharisees' hypocrisy has accumulated cannot be escaped.
