Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
οἳ κατεσθίουσιν τὰς οἰκίας τῶν χηρῶν
who /are/_devouring the houses ˱of˲_the widows
Jesus speaks of the houses of widows to mean their wealth and possessions, which they would have in their houses. Alternate translation: [They defraud widows of everything they own]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οἳ κατεσθίουσιν τὰς οἰκίας τῶν χηρῶν
who /are/_devouring the houses ˱of˲_the widows
Jesus says that the scribes devour or eat up the possessions of widows to mean that they continually ask the widows for money until the widows have none left. Alternate translation: [They defraud widows of everything they own]
προφάσει μακρὰ προσεύχονται
˱for˲_/a/_under_pretense (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἳ κατεσθίουσιν τὰς οἰκίας τῶν χηρῶν καὶ προφάσει μακρᾷ προσεύχονται οὗτοι λήμψονται περισσότερον κρίμα)
Here, pretext refers to something that someone would do in order to appear a certain way. Alternate translation: [in order to seem godly, they offer long prayers]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
οὗτοι λήμψονται περισσότερον κρίμα
these /will_be/_receiving more_abundant judgment
Jesus is using the word condemnation to mean the punishment that a person would receive after being condemned (found guilty) for doing something wrong. Alternate translation: [These scribes will receive greater punishment]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οὗτοι λήμψονται περισσότερον κρίμα
these /will_be/_receiving more_abundant judgment
The implication seems to be that these proud and greedy scribes will receive greater punishment than they would have if they had not pretended to be so godly. It is also implicit that God will be the one who punishes them. Alternate translation: [God will punish these scribes more severely because they do all these wrong things while pretending to be godly]
20:47 Yet they shamelessly cheat widows: This might mean exploiting widows’ property over which they were appointed guardians; it could also mean coercing widows to give money beyond their means. Widows were the most vulnerable members of society, and God had special concern for them. He would judge those who exploited them (Exod 22:22; Deut 10:18; 27:19).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
