Exegesis
The predictive future clause pairs kakous {Κακοὺς | Kakoús} ‘evil men’ with the adverb kakōs {κακῶς | kakôs} ‘dreadfully’ before apolesei {ἀπολέσει | apolései} ‘he will destroy’ to intensify the pronouncement of judgment.
In context — Matthew 21:41
They said to Him, “He will bring those evil men to a dreadful end, and will lease the vineyard to other farmers who will give Him the fruits at their seasons.”
