Exegesis
The verse is structured as a comparative analogy introduced by hōsper {ὥσπερ | hṓs-per} ‘just as’, followed by a main clause and then its eschatological application signaled by houtōs {οὕτως | hoú-tōs} ‘so, thus’.
In context — Matthew 13:40
Therefore, just as the weeds are gathered and are burned with fire, so it will be at the end of the age.
