Can you explain escoliated? I think it’s a typo, but Google is of no help here. Not trying to put your point down, just trying to figure out more about it.
Not a typo. Entirely gratuitously introduced to the English language by me, AFIK. Good perception. Hoping someone would ask --
Explanation:
===========
Scriptural Derivation:
Acts 2:40 (my emphasis)
"And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation" (AV)
ετεροις τε λογοις πλειοσιν διεμαρτυρετο και παρεκαλει λεγων σωθητε απο της γενεας της σκολιας ταυτης (TR)
From Strong's lexicon:
G4646
σκολιός
skolios
skol-ee-os'
From the base of G4628; warped, that is, winding; figuratively perverse: - crooked, froward, untoward.
(Also used in Lk. 3:5, Phil. 2:15, 1 Pet. 2:18; perhaps hinted at in 2 Pet. 3:16)

Medical definition:
Definition
Scoliosis is a side-to-side curvature of the spine.
Description
When viewed from the rear, the spine usually appears perfectly straight. Scoliosis is a lateral (side-to-side) curve in the spine, usually combined with a rotation of the vertebrae. (The lateral curvature of scoliosis should not be confused with the normal set of front-to-back spinal curves visible from the side.) While a small degree of lateral curvature does not cause any medical problems, larger curves can cause postural imbalance and lead to muscle fatigue and pain. More severe scoliosis can interfere with breathing and lead to arthritis of the spine (spondylosis).
Wiki:
Scoliosis (/ˌskɒlɪˈoʊsɪs/;[1] from Ancient Greek: σκολίωσις skoliosis “obliquity, bending”[2]) is a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved from side to side. Although it is a complex three-dimensional deformity, on an X-ray, viewed from the rear, the spine of an individual with scoliosis can resemble an "S" or a "?", rather than a straight line.
=========
In developing it, the "e-" prefix seems to be indicated, as has been done with "escalloped" potatoes, or "ebullient." Thus, the word "escoliated" -- a crooked, twisted, escoliated, untoward generation.
Spoken by Simon Peter, in his first invitation to salvation, to those whose very religious foundings was so bent out of shape that they weren't aware that they simply did not know The God in a saving way.
