Exegesis
The rhetorical question is constructed with ou {οὐ | ou} plus the future middle indicative pause {παύσῃ | paú-sē} ‘will you stop’, giving a reproachful expectation that the addressee ought to cease.
In context — Acts 13:10
And he said, “O you full of all deceit and all villainy, son of the devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not stop perverting the straight ways of the Lord ?”
