Exegesis
The paired futures klausete kai thrēnēsēte {κλαύσετε καὶ θρηνήσετε | klau-sé-te kai thrē-nḗ-se-te} ‘you will weep and lament’ stack two grief actions for emphasis, while the fronted hymeis {ὑμεῖς | hy-meîs} ‘you’ sharpens the contrast with ho de kosmos {ὁ δὲ κόσμος | ho de kós-mos} ‘but the world’; the future charēsetai {χαρήσεται | kha-rḗ-se-tai} ‘will rejoice’ marks the opposite response.
In context — John 16:20
I am telling you for certain: you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, yet your sorrow will become joy.
