The answer is: Generation of vipers

Matthew 3:7 - John the Baptist's harsh words illustrate the tension between him and religious leaders who prioritized tradition over genuine repentance. The metaphor "generation of vipers" highlights their deceit, connecting to Jesus’ later rebukes in Matthew 23, emphasizing authenticity in faith rather than mere outward appearances.
