Matthew 23:14

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

Woe {G3759} unto you {G5213}, scribes {G1122} and {G2532} Pharisees {G5330}, hypocrites {G5273}! for {G3754} ye devour {G2719} widows {G5503}' houses {G3614}, and {G2532} for a pretence {G4392} make {G4336} long {G3117} prayer {G4336}: therefore {G1223}{G5124} ye shall receive {G2983} the greater {G4055} damnation {G2917}.

Woe to you hypocritical Torah-teachers and P'rushim! For you swallow up widow's houses while making a show of davvening at great length. Because of this your punishment will be all the worse
