He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him,“ You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

When the crowds came to John for baptism, he said,“ You brood of snakes! Who warned you to flee the coming wrath?

你們這些蛇啊，毒蛇的孽種啊，怎能逃脫地獄的懲罰呢？

等候他兒子從天降臨，就是上帝使他從死人中復活的那位救我們脫離將來憤怒的耶穌。

毒蛇的孽種啊，你們既是惡人，怎能說出好話來呢？因為心裏所充滿的，口裏就說出來。

他們的毒氣好像蛇的毒氣，他們好像聾的毒蛇塞住耳朵，聽不見弄蛇者的聲音，也聽不見魔術師的咒語。

犯罪的是出於魔鬼，因為魔鬼從起初就犯罪。上帝的兒子顯現出來，是為了要毀滅魔鬼的作為。

我要使你和女人彼此為仇，你的後裔和女人的後裔也彼此為仇。他要傷你的頭，你要傷他的腳跟。」

藉這兩件不可更改的事－在這些事上，上帝絕不會說謊－我們這些逃往避難所的人能得到強有力的鼓勵，去抓住那擺在我們前頭的指望。

你們是出於你們的父魔鬼，你們寧願隨着你們父的慾念而行。他從起初就是殺人的，不守真理，因他心裏沒有真理。他說謊是出於自己的本性，因他本來是說謊的，也是說謊者之父。

說：「你這充滿各樣詭詐奸惡，魔鬼的兒子，一切正義的仇敵，你還不停止扭曲主的正道嗎？
