Exegesis
The subordinating conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces the causal clause where the present active indicative katesthiete {κατεσθίετε | ka-tes-thí-e-te} “devours” its object tas oikias tōn cherōn {τὰς οἰκίας τῶν χηρῶν | tàs oi-kí-as tôn chē-rôn}, emphasizing ongoing exploitation via a genitive of possession.
