Exegesis
The main imperfect verb ethelen {ἤθελεν | ēthelen} ‘he was willing’ negated by ouk {οὐκ | ouk} governs the infinitive eparai {ἐπᾶραι | epārai} ‘to lift up,’ with oude {οὐδὲ | oudè} ‘not even’ intensifying the negation of the object tous ophthalmous {τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς | tous ophthalmous} ‘the eyes.’
In context — Luke 18:13
But the tax collector, standing far off, was not willing even to lift up his eyes toward heaven, but was striking his chest, saying, “O God , be merciful to me, the sinner .”
