The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Jehovah and against His anointed, saying,

Serpents! Offspring of vipers! How will you escape the condemnation of Gehenna?

Now the serpent was more cunning than any living thing of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God indeed said, You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

This man dealt craftily with our people, and oppressed our forefathers, making them cast out their babies, so that they might not live.

and said, O full of all deceit and all mischief, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the right ways of the Lord?

But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
