Exegesis
Each participial clause is followed by a strong negation: ou me {οὐ μὴ | ou mḕ} plus the aorist subjunctive peinase {πεινάσῃ | pei-ná-sē} in the first, and ou me with the future indicative dipsei {διψήσει | dip-sē-sei} in the second. The first is a standard construction for emphatic denial of future possibility, while the second extends the same emphatic force to the future indicative, yielding the sense “shall certainly never.”
