'Brood' in the Bible

Brood of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil? For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.

“Snakes! Brood of vipers! How can you escape being condemned to hell?

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who murders the prophets and stones [to death] those [messengers] who are sent to her [by God]! How often I wanted to gather your children together [around Me], as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.
