::To elaborate: The ''you'' at the beginning of the verse doesn't exist in the Greek original, it's implied by the interjection οὐαί. So, nothing can refer to it. The other ''you'' come from the accusative plural  of the personal pronoun σύ, which stand just before πάντες οἱ ἄνθρωποι - the ''all men''. So it is clear that the ''fathers'' are theirs.

::BTW, I checked a couple of other translations, which all support my point.

::I'll  try to come up with a good, new version.
