ὄφεις γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν πῶς φύγητε ἀπὸ τῆς κρίσεως τῆς γεέννης
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν πῶς δύνασθε ἀγαθὰ λαλεῖν πονηροὶ ὄντες ἐκ γὰρ τοῦ περισσεύματος τῆς καρδίας τὸ στόμα λαλεῖ
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
διάκονοι Χριστοῦ εἰσιν παραφρονῶν λαλῶ ὑπὲρ ἐγώ· ἐν κόποις περισσοτέρως ἐν πληγαῖς ὑπερβαλλόντως ἐν φυλακαῖς περισσοτέρως ἐν θανάτοις πολλάκις
Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
ὡς δὲ εἶδον οἱ βάρβαροι κρεμάμενον τὸ θηρίον ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ἔλεγον πρὸς ἀλλήλους Πάντως φονεύς ἐστιν ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος ὃν διασωθέντα ἐκ τῆς θαλάσσης ἡ δίκη ζῆν οὐκ εἴασεν
And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
רֹאשׁ-פְּתָנִים יִינָק תַּֽהַרְגֵהוּ לְשׁוֹן אֶפְעֶֽה׃
He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
הֵן-אַתֶּם מֵאַיִן וּפָעָלְכֶם מֵאָפַע תּוֹעֵבָה יִבְחַר בָּכֶֽם׃
Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.
ὡς ἀγνοούμενοι καὶ ἐπιγινωσκόμενοι ὡς ἀποθνῄσκοντες καὶ ἰδού ζῶμεν ὡς παιδευόμενοι καὶ μὴ θανατούμενοι
As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
Ἰδὼν δὲ πολλοὺς τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων ἐρχομένους ἐπὶ τὸ βάπτισμα αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν τίς ὑπέδειξεν ὑμῖν φυγεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς μελλούσης ὀργῆς;
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
מַשָּׂא בַּהֲמוֹת נֶגֶב בְּאֶרֶץ צָרָה וְצוּקָה לָבִיא וָלַיִשׁ מֵהֶם אֶפְעֶה וְשָׂרָף מְעוֹפֵף יִשְׂאוּ עַל-כֶּתֶף עֲיָרִים חֵֽילֵהֶם וְעַל-דַּבֶּשֶׁת גְּמַלִּים אֽוֹצְרֹתָם עַל-עַם לֹא יוֹעִֽילוּ׃
The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
בֵּיצֵי צִפְעוֹנִי בִּקֵּעוּ וְקוּרֵי עַכָּבִישׁ יֶאֱרֹגוּ הָאֹכֵל מִבֵּֽיצֵיהֶם יָמוּת וְהַזּוּרֶה תִּבָּקַע אֶפְעֶֽה׃
They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
כַּאֲשֶׁר יָנוּס אִישׁ מִפְּנֵי הָאֲרִי וּפְגָעוֹ הַדֹּב וּבָא הַבַּיִת וְסָמַךְ יָדוֹ עַל-הַקִּיר וּנְשָׁכוֹ הַנָּחָֽשׁ׃
As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
