Exegesis
The prepositional phrase apo tēs kriseōs {ἀπὸ τῆς κρίσεως | apó tês kríseōs} specifies the realm from which escape is in question, with kriseōs evoking a formal judicial process or verdict.
This noun is further defined by the following genitive phrase tēs geennēs {τῆς γεέννης | tês geénnēs}, so that together they yield the tightly knit expression “the judgment of Gehenna,” referring to ultimate eschatological condemnation. In translation, the initial nouns are kept at the front (“Serpents,” “You snakes”) to preserve the confrontational tone, the appositional structure is mirrored by “offspring of vipers” and “children of vipers,” and the rhetorical force of pōs with the subjunctive is rendered by “how will you escape” and “how can you flee,” which convey the implied impossibility while remaining natural in English.
